“Just get vaccinated.
That’s the key.

You are finally annoyed in Australia.
After his temporary success in court, Novak Djoković was part of the draw for the Australian Open yesterday.
He trains demonstratively calm in Melbourne.
At the beginning of next week he should start the tournament against his Serbian compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.
But it is still open whether he will be allowed to be in the country at all.
Scott Morrison, Prime Minister Australia:
“The rules haven't changed.
These are the rules!"
Djokovic may have broken some of these rules.
Among other things, he replied in a questionnaire on entry that he had not traveled in the 14 days before.
However, social media posts seem to prove the opposite, they show him shortly after each other in Belgrade and Spain.
There are also indications that Djoković's positive PCR test from mid-December could have been tampered with.

In any case, the prime minister of Victoria, the state in which the tournament takes place, suggests that he has had enough of the tennis star's ego.
Daniel Andres, Prime Minister of Victoria:
“This tournament is much bigger than a single person.
It's called the "Grand Slam" for good reason.
It's bigger than an individual.
Just as the security of our citizens is greater than a person. "
His state has a vaccination rate of 93 percent.
His message to Djoković and his supporters: The legal tug-of-war could have been avoided very easily.
Daniel Andrews, Prime Minister of Victoria:
“Just get vaccinated.
That’s the key.
That is the key. "
