Players at Australian Open won't be required to take Covid-19 tests

Tennis players at this month's Australian Open won't be required to take Covid-19 tests and could play even if they have the virus.

The tournament director says the policy reflects what’s happening in Melbourne’s wider community.

There have been strict rules at the Grand Slam over the past two years, while Novak Djokovic was deported 12-months ago over his vaccine status.
