In the month of January 2022, which of the following players faced a visa row inAustralia?

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: A) Novak Djokovic

In January 2022, Novak Djokovic, the world-renowned Serbian tennis player, was at the center of a visa controversy in Australia. He arrived to participate in the Australian Open but was detained and eventually deported due to issues related to COVID-19 vaccination requirements and a medical exemption he had received.

• Djokovic was unvaccinated against COVID-19, and Australia's rules required foreign entrants to be vaccinated.

• He was held in a detention hotel and his visa was revoked twice by Australian authorities.

• Despite a court ruling initially allowing him to stay, Australia's Immigration Minister used discretionary powers to cancel his visa.

• As a result, he missed the 2022 Australian Open and was deported from the country.

• The incident sparked global debate on health regulations, athletes’ rights, and immigration policies.
