Novak Djokovic on Wednesday admitted “errors” in his travel papers and in his behaviour after a claimed Coronavirus infection as he battled to stay in Australia and fight for a record 21st Grand Slam.
The World No.1 said his team had offered fresh information to the Australian government, which is pondering whether to cancel his visa, again, and throw him out of the country. “We are living in challenging times in a global pandemic and sometimes these mistakes can occur,” the unvaccinated 34-year-old said in a statement released as he practiced on the courts of the Australian Open, which starts on Monday.
