ATP Official: The absence of Xiaode is missing from the Australian Open And it is continued to strongly recommend that all players be vaccinated

On the evening of 16 January, the official Weibo of the ATP (International Professional Tennis Federation) Tour posted a statement about the cancellation of Novak Djokovic's Australian visa:

Today, the decision to uphold Novak Djokovic's Australian visa cancellation marks the end of a series of deeply regrettable events. Ultimately, the decisions of legal authorities on public health issues must be respected. And it takes more time to take stock of the facts and learn from this situation.

Regardless of how this was achieved, Novak is one of the greatest champions in our sport and his absence from the 2022 Australian Open is a lack of competition. We know how turbulent the recent days have been for Novak and how much he wants to defend his title in Melbourne. We wish him all the best and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch soon.

The ATP continues to strongly recommend that all players be vaccinated.
