There's no need for any scientific argument, really. Australia is a sovereign country that controls under what conditions they allow people to come in, and is perfectly free to ask people to stand on their head for 5 minutes as an entry condition, if they want to. Look into your own country's visa terms, it's by no means trivial to get in somewhere, and it often requires satisfying some requirements that are not at all scientific. Eg: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/PDF-other/DS-160-Example_11-19-2020.pdf https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/PDF-other/DS-160-... Interesting questions start on page 33.

Of course they can and they do. But the Australian opens are then a tournament where the highlight is the match between the second best and the third best.

  Yes, so? A problem for the AO, yes. But for a country as a whole, this is not a problem, and kicking him out is the better outcome. It shows to the citizens that the restrictions they had to abide by apply to everyone, and that you can't get through just by being famous. That's how it should be. If they say you don't get in without a vaccine, then you don't. Personally, I don't want this guy in my country either.
