The ongoing Novak Djokovic visa row continues to dominate the news – with the public firmly split on whether the No 1 tennis star should be deported. 

The papers reflect the uncertainty of Djokovic’s situation – with some headlines looking at whether he will still end up being deported, if he’ll be banned from the French Open – admit France’s crackdown on anti-vaxxers and where he stands with Wimbledon. 

The tabloids highlight the absurdity of pseudo-medical therapy, whilst most papers are running stories from fellow tennis players with a pro-vaccine stance. The general tone from the tennis community is that he should be vaccinated to play at the Australian Open and that he’s created a circus of it all. 

There’s also a political spin to some stories – a few papers are questioning Nigel Farge and the right-wing’s sudden interest in Novak Djokovic.
