MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Tennis star Novak Djokovic won a court battle Monday to stay in Australia to contest the Australian Open despite not being vaccinated against COVID-19, but the drama might not be finished, with the government threatening to cancel his visa a second time and deport him.
An Australian judge has reinstated tennis star Novak Djokovic's visa, which was cancelled last week because he is unvaccinated. However, the decision does not mean Djokovic has been cleared to compete in the Australian Open yet.
Australia's immigration minister could still "exercise a personal power of cancelation," which would mean mean Djokovic could face deportation again and miss the tournament, which starts on Jan. 17
