This year’s Australian Open ignited a furor that caused headlines around the world. Djokovic, the number one men’s player, hoped to notch his 21st major and break the record he holds with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. However, Djokovic was deported after his visa was cancelled on public health grounds. The Serbian star remains unvaccinated. There is also now doubt over his participation in the French Open later this year.
But as Djokovic himself noted, the Australian Open is much more than one player. Tennis action continues into Day 3, which will feature some interesting matches, including No. 2 Daniil Medvedev against Aussie’s own Nick Kyrgios. No. 3 Alexander Zverev will also take on an Aussie, John Millman.
On the women’s side, Naomi Osaka is set to meet Madison Brengle, while Gabine Muguruza will face off against France’s Alizé Cornet.
