Unvaccinated tennis star in Djokovic hotel is deported
A player has had her visa canceled and left Australia after what she described as an "onslaught on my psyche", adding that she is not like Novak Djokovic because she is "not completely against vaccination"
Czech doubles player Renata Voracova flew out of Melbourne airport on Saturday after her immigration clearance was revoked by Australian authorities because of her vaccine status, according to the Czech Foreign Ministry.
Unvaccinated Voracova, who had already competed at a warm-up event in Melbourne after initially being granted access to the country, opted to leave voluntarily after she became embroiled in the saga over Australia's handling of medical exemptions for unvaccinated players entering the country ahead of the start of the Australian Open on January 17.
The 38-year-old doubles specialist was being held at the same detention hotel as world number one Novak Djokovic, the defending Australian Open champion whose ongoing row with immigration authorities has gripped the sports world in recent days.
