Novak Djokovic is considering serving Australia’s government with a lawsuit after he was deported in the interest of public health ahead of the Australian Open.

Djokovic, 34, was consulting his legal team about suing the country for $4.4 million, a fee that includes the $2.75 million prize that the world’s top tennis player was expected to win, according to The Sun.

State and tennis officials had granted Djokovic a medical exemption to Australia’s strict COVID-19 vaccination policy because he had recently been infected with the virus, but immigration officials canceled the exemption and revoked his visa when he arrived in Melbourne on Jan. 6, citing public health risks and fears of riling up Aussies opposed to the mandate.
