Novak Djokovic says he still feels a bit of trauma when he travels to Australia. He says that stems from his deportation from the country in 2022 because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Novak Djokovic says he has felt some “trauma” when landing in Australia in the years since he was deported from the country in 2022. Having arrived ahead of the 2022 Australian Open not vaccinated against coronavirus, Djokovic was detained in an immigration hotel.

Novak Djokovic has revealed the "trauma" he experiences whenever he visits Melbourne, three years after he was deported for a breach of Australia's COVID-19 rules.

Novak Djokovic was deported from the Melbourne airport in 2022 because of his non-vaccination status against coronavirus. He had come to the country to play Australia Open that year.
