PARIS (Reuters) -French apparel brand Lacoste, a sponsor of Novak Djokovic, said on Monday it would contact the world men's tennis No. 1 to review events in Australia.

The player, who has not been vaccinated, was deported from Australia on Sunday ahead of the Australian Open after losing a court bid to have the cancellation of his visa overturned. He is now in his native Serbia, where he received a rapturous welcome.
