Yearly summary
Early hard court season
ATP Cup
Djokovic withdrew from the Serbian team taking part at the ATP Cup from 1 January in Sydney.[2]
Australian Open
Whilst Djokovic received a COVID-19 vaccination exemption from Tennis Australia to enter into the Australian Open,[3][4] his participation was cast into doubt after issues with his visa resulted in his exemption evidence being insufficient for entry into Australia. He was detained by the Australian Border Force on 5 January, and his visa was cancelled on the same day, with plans for his deportation being put in place. His lawyers challenged the decision.[5] The Federal Circuit and Family Court ruled against the government on procedural grounds and ordered his release from detention and directed the federal government to pay his legal expenses.[6]
On 14 January 2022, Alex Hawke, the Australian Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, exercised his ministerial powers under the Migration Act 1958 to cancel Djokovic's visa, citing "health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so".[7] Djokovic's application for judicial review in the Federal Court was unanimously dismissed by the full court with costs on 16 January.[8][9] Djokovic said he was "extremely disappointed" with the decision but accepted the ruling, and flew out of Australia that night.[10][11] "Lucky loser" Salvatore Caruso took his place in the Australian Open draw.[11]
In late January, doubts continued to mount over the validity of the date of his COVID test.[12][13][14] Nevertheless, Djokovic entered into the 2022 Dubai Tennis Championships, an ATP 500 tournament where he has been seeded first. The tournament is due to be held in February; vaccination is not a requirement for entry into Dubai.[15]
Dubai Tennis Championships
Djokovic lost in the quarterfinals to Jiří Veselý, thus relinquishing his number 1 ranking to Daniil Medvedev.
Indian Wells Masters
Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to COVID-19 vaccine mandate rules from entering the United States. Despite this, Djokovic regained the number 1 ranking after Gael Monfils beat Daniil Medvedev in the third round.[16][17]
Miami Open
Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to vaccine mandate rules from entering the United States.
