Renata Voracova joins Djokovic in detention hotel, having already played a match in Australia

Czech WTA player Renata Voracova has joined Novak Djokovic in the detention hotel as the authorities decided to cancel her visa, more than a week after she had already entered Melbourne, Australia.

ATP world No.1 Djokovic didn’t manage to get into Australia because his COVID-19 vaccine exemption documentation was marked as incomplete. We can argue whether or not his paperwork was sufficient or not, but Voracova’s case leaves little room for logic.

The Czech doubles world No.81 had already played a doubles match at the Melbourne Summer Set 2 tournament, when the authorities decided that the reason for her vaccination exemption was invalid.
