The ATP, the governing body of men’s tennis, said it sympathised with Djokovic and the Australian public and stressed it had done everything it could to prevent players from entering Australia for potential problems at the Australian Open.

“The ATP fully respects the sacrifices made by the Australian people since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the stringent immigration policies that have been put in place,” the statement said.

“The chain of events leading up to Monday’s court hearing has wreaked havoc on every front, including Novak’s health and preparations for the Australian Open.”
