Top-ranked 20-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, prevented from playing the Australian Open because he was not vaccinated for COVID-19, is entered in next month’s Indian Wells ATP event. 


Djokovic is a five-time champion at Indian Wells, where organisers announced entries on Wednesday and said proof of full vaccination will be required for spectator entry into the grounds for the March 7-20 tournament.


The Serbian star was set to try and win a fourth consecutive Australian Open title last month—what would have been his record 21st career major singles crown—but Australian border officials said he did not meet requirements for unvaccinated travellers to enter the nation.  Djokovic’s visa was eventually cancelled and after a legal appeal failed he departed without playing.
