Opinion: Vaccine exemption for Australian Open will cement Novak Djokovic as tennis’ top villain

Why did Novak Djokovic spend the last few months avoiding a direct answer on whether he’d play this year’s Australian Open, a tournament he’s won nine times among his record-tying 20 Grand Slam titles? Because, it turns out, he was seeking a medical exemption from the vaccination requirement to enter the Australian state of Victoria.
