After getting deported before this year’s Australian Open, star tennis player Novak Djokovic said that the event remains fresh in his mind but that he is also ready to move past it and compete again in 2023. In January 2022, the Australian government barred Djokovic from competing in the tournament due to his failure to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. He had previously announced that he could compete because of an exemption. This exemption to compete did not extend to travel across the border, however, leading to his deportation. “It stays with you for the rest of your life,” Djokovic said at ...

The French Open begins on May 22. The lightening of restrictions could also pave the way for the 34-year-old to ...

A notorious competitor, Nadal dug deep and won the next four points to survive Daniil Medvedev. Moments later he held for 3-3 in the third set and grabbed the momentum of the Australian Open final. Call him Black Jack, because Nadal did get to 21—setting the record for Grand Slam singles titles with an improbable 2-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 comeback win that went on for five hours and 24 minutes.
