Organizers of the Australian Open have released a statement that says tennis players at the tournament will not need to take Covid-19 tests and could play if they have the virus.

Last year players had to test daily and isolate if positive and also had to be vaccinated.

In 2021, the event took place in a biosecure bubble.

Nine-time champion Novak Djokovic, who is unvaccinated, was deported last January just before the tournament because of his Covid-19 vaccination status.

The Australian Open starts on Monday, 16 January and runs until Sunday, 29 January.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios will face off in a charity game on Friday January 13 ahead of the tournament itself.
