Novak Djokovic's fans support him outside the Park Hotel in Melbourne, Australia (from Twitter)
The Novak Djokovic affair continues to stir the world of tennis, and Australia as a whole. Tomorrow (Monday) the hearing will take place in Melbourne court following the unvaccinated Serb's appeal against the decision to deport him and prevent him from participating in the Australian Championship, which will start in eight days.
The federal government has asked for the last day to postpone the hearing by two days and hold it on Wednesday, in order to prepare for it properly, but the demand was rejected by the court, and Djokovic's supporters refer to it as "his first legal victory", implying that the decision prevented him from participating in the tournament Not acceptable, and that she will change soon.
As you may recall, over the weekend Djokovic's lawyers stated that he was infected with Corona last month, and therefore received exceptional permission to come to Australia and participate in the championship on a recovering standard. In Australia this morning, e-mail correspondence was published in support of this claim, showing how the authorities actually misled DjokovicAnd made him believe that his affairs would be settled as soon as he landed in Melbourne.

According to the documents revealed, senior Australian government officials have authorized the state of Victoria to exclude unvaccinated tennis players under certain conditions, leaving the task in its hands. The director of the Australian Tennis Association, Brett Sutton, even stated to Djokovic's representatives that the Serbian tennis player meets the criteria required to obtain an exceptional entry visa, as he has been infected with Corona in the past.
The problem, it seems, was the lack of coordination between the various bodies in Australia. Despite repeated warnings from federal officials to the Victoria government, Djokovic was not asked to present the proving documents that had recovered from Corona until his landing in Australia. A senior federal official even warned in advance of a "real fiasco" that would occur if Djokovic was not asked to present the documents ahead of time, and finalized his entry visa. Despite this, he was not required to do so and received confused messages from the authorities.
It is possible that what influenced the decision to detain Djokovic at the airport was his conduct after he was allegedly infected with Corona.
According to the information he provided, he was found positive in a PCR test on December 16th.
Yesterday photos from an event with children were revealed in which he appeared on the 17th of the month, a day after the positive test.
Today, the French newspaper "L'Equipe" published another suspicious documentation of Djokovic from December 18, two days after he was found positive, in which he was seen at another public event, again without a mask.
Either way, Djokovic knows that if he is deported, you will have far-reaching consequences.
According to the AP, in such a scenario, where his appeal is rejected and he will indeed have to retrace his steps to Serbia, he will be banned from landing in Australia for three years - meaning he will miss the first Grand Slam of the year and one of his favorite tournaments with nine wins in the past, by 2025
. Bessarabia continues to conduct the media campaign for their idol.
Last night, the Serbian websites published the personal details of Michael Utram, the commander of the border control in Melbourne, and who according to the local media is "directly responsible for the abuse and mistreatment" in Djokovic.
Shortly afterwards, threats and teasing appeared on the net against the officer in question.
