  • But tennis great Serena Williams, who was expected to play, is missing from entries

MELBOURNE: World number one Novak Djokovic was among the entries for the Australian Open on Wednesday but women’s great Serena Williams was missing.
The Serbian had cast doubt on whether he would defend his Melbourne Park title next month, refusing to reveal whether he was inoculated against coronavirus.
Williams, who is frustratingly marooned on 23 Grand Slam titles – one short of the all-time record held by Margaret Court – had been expected to play, but her name was not listed.
