had his visa revoked on arrival into australia, after a huge backlash about his vaccine exemption. he's currently in a detention hotel, awaiting the verdict of his appeal. rafael nadal was among the players to criticise his great rival today. lydia campbell has been looking at the serbs controversial stance. with his 20 grand slam titles, know that novak djokovic is one of the greatest to play the sport. it is also a man never to follow from controversy. when six months into the coronavirus pandemic, the tour was shut down leading to novak organising his own exhibition event, the tour. the event was criticised due to its lack of social distancing was eventually cancelled after a number of players, including that of a positive for the virus. he recovered in time to compete in the us open but was eventually disqualified after accidentally

support djokovic though — but the american has not travelled to australia to compete, because he hasn't had the vaccine. ididn't i didn't meet any of the criteria to apply for the medical exemption. my was a personal choice. i don't think you should be mandated to take the vaccine if you don't want to feel that it's in your best interest, you should. absolutely, buti that it's in your best interest, you should. absolutely, but i haven't. nobody takes better care of themselves then novak does, he is meticulous with his diet and this training and that goes a long way in general health does in dealing with this. so, if the regardless of his vaccination status, i think is a fantastic role model and he has a lot of characteristics i think we should aspire to. pep guardiola has tested positive for covid—i9 and will miss manchester city's fa cup tie against swindon town tomorrow night. the city manager and his assistantjuanma lillo are among 21 players and staff at the club who are currently isolating. assistant coach rodolfo borrell will be in charge for the the game. one of the easiest line—ups, we're

just going to play with the ones that we have available. we don't have much more. but our aim is to keep playing this much as we can and time to respect all competitions and then as i said, keep playing and at this moment, i don't know in the following dates, whether or not it's going to happen or it is a decision that we will play with what we've got. burnley�*s manager sean dyche has also tested positive for covid—i9 — and just four days before his country's first game at the africa cup of nations gabon captain pierre—emerick aubameyang has contracted the virus. the arsenal striker is isolating in his hotel room and awaiting results of pcr tests. gabon play their opening group c match against comoros on monday. coventry united ladies have been deducted ten points by the football association. the club had been in administration and was set to be liquidated before a last—minute deal with businessman lewis taylor was agreed yesterday. the fa said the points penalty was due to a breach of their rules around insolvency.

coventry can appeal. south africa have levelled their 3—match test series with india at one—all. they reached their target of 240 with 7 wickets to spare in johannesburg. dean elgar made 96 not out. the third and deciding match starts next tuesday in cape town. wales full—back liam williams will move from scarlets to cardiff rugby next season. he's currently in his second spell in llanelli, but has been limited tojust 4 appearances since his return two years ago. williams says he's "fully committed" to scarlets for the rest of the campaign. and that's all the sport for now. but you can get all the latest on the third day of the fourth ashes test on the bbc sport website good evening. it's been a wintry day after that frosty start. we've seen a little snow around as well, particularly on the hills,

and we've got more snow showers following through this evening and overnight, coming through on that brisk westerly wind, which has really accentuated the chill today. now, overnight temperatures won't be quite as low as last night, but they'll certainly be low enough to allow freezing to occur and for ice to form, particularly following the showers and where we've still got the snow showers. so, there are warnings out for snow and ice across the northern half of the country, but it'll be pretty cold in the south, too. sunny spells, here, but potentially even a bit of rain and hill snow for south wales and southern parts of england through the day tomorrow. heavy showers further north, the odd rumble of thunder, certainly some hail and more sleet and snow, even possibly at lower levels. the temperatures are low enough for it, and it becomes very windy in the south later on as that weather system rushes through. and then for the weekend, it's this bout of wet and windy atlantic weather coming in. perhaps sunday, at the moment, looking like the drier

day of the weekend.
