Djokovic on Indian Wells entry list I Requires 'valid proof of full vaccination'

World No 1 Novak Djokovic has been included on the tournament entry list for Indian Wells, which begins next month.

Djokovic had his visa revoked twice when he was eventually deported by the Australian government last month because he was not vaccinated against coronavirus.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion, who lost a last-ditch court bid to stay in the country, could now be in line to play at the prestigious Masters 1000 event held in California.

A statement released by organisers said: "The BNP Paribas Open will require valid proof of full vaccination to enter the Indian Wells Tennis Garden for the tournament.

"Guidelines for the players are governed by the protocols established by their respective governing bodies, the WTA and ATP, as well as any restrictions established by the United States of America in regard to the vaccination status of international travellers entering the country".
