The eyes of the sports world, and much more, are all set towards Melbourne, Australia, where he is still "imprisoned" in the Corona Hotel by the world's top tennis player Novak Djokovic.
In his native Serbia, there are demonstrations in support of Nola, who is known to refuse to be vaccinated against the corona virus.
All the while, behind the scenes, there is a diplomatic crisis between the countries, following the threats to deport him back to Belgrade - which in a moment will become real.
Serbian media are reporting that riots and throwing objects at the Australian embassy building, and even the 34-year-old tennis player's parents have taken to the streets.
"They crucified Jesus, and are now trying to crucify Novak," they said yesterday (Thursday).
Djokovic is preparing, mostly mentally, for the moment when he will emerge from forced isolation and participate in the Australian Championships, but the Serbian media are pessimistic: "There is a chance he will play, but I am not optimistic," wrote one of the local journalists.
"Novak's insistence on not getting vaccinated puts his career in jeopardy," he added, adding that he would have to make tough decisions in the near term.
He will not be able to continue to be a leading professional athlete without getting vaccinated. "
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
