Novak Djokovic: What's next for Grand Slam champion after Australia row?

Novak Djokovic has been given the chance to win a record 21st Grand Slam men's singles title at next week's Australian Open after the cancellation of his visa by the nation's border officials was overturned.

Australia's immigration minister Alex Hawke still has powers to re-cancel Djokovic's visa and deport him, with a government spokesman saying he is still "thoroughly considering the matter".

Whatever happens, the situation also raises further questions for Djokovic, plus other tennis players who are reluctant to be vaccinated, for the season ahead.

Will other countries stop Djokovic entering if he is not vaccinated?
