    Documents reveal: In Australia he was misled

  • Doctors recommend: six minutes, twice a day and no pain

New York Times senior reporter Christopher Clary wrote: "Novak Djokovic has been fighting all over the world since he played tennis. He won against all odds to become a champion and arrived from the former Yugoslavia despite economic difficulties and violent conflict in Serbia. To compete with two of the greatest in history, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and yet he got them and held the lead in the rivalry against them. .



"More than 90% of the players in the top 100 of the world were vaccinated. The fact that the ATP did not release any official announcement at all the time Djokovic was imprisoned in the facility and only then probably stems from the fact that they pushed for all their players to be vaccinated. -ATP will not require vaccinated players to be tested as soon as they arrive at tournaments, if they have no symptoms. Unvaccinated players and their teams will have to undergo tests regularly and the round will not fund it. Some others are out of consensus.



"While Djokovic recorded a major victory in court, he undoubtedly lost much of the public support he had despite becoming a martyr in the eyes of vaccine opponents and his countrymen. Djokovic is not a drama magnet by any chance. There has been too much drama around him over the years and it is no coincidence. He could have avoided the current one if he had been vaccinated, but refused to do so consistently.



"The Australian Championship is his biggest tournament, he has won nine of his 20 Grand Slam titles there. But now whether he wins or not, Djokovic faces a full season of tough decisions as he tries to navigate a world that is mostly immunized."

Novak Djokovic Marko's brother, who is often left out of the spotlight and considered a very sensitive and introverted guy, wrote on Instagram: "Thank you for your love, soul, spirit. Thank you for being real and yes. Thank you for staying strong with your humor. Thank you You fight for all of us, for representing people. Thank you for showing us that there is hope in these difficult times. Thank you not only for showing hope, but for giving us a clear path and strength to keep moving forward and not stop. Thank you for finally showing us that we are eight billion people on earth. "A similar treatment, that we are all one. It's time to talk and fight for our rights as human beings. Together we have the power to help each other in these difficult times and grow into empathy, respect, acceptance and love. I love you bro, thank you."



The former tennis player who now serves as Australian politician John Alexander (ranked 8th in the world) has called on the Australian government not to intervene in the Djokovic case. "If the immigration minister intervenes in this matter it would be a mistake. It should not be a political problem, it is not a political matter."



Attorney Justin Quayle was interviewed on the popular morning show and said: "This is a complete surrender of the government and a big victory for Djokovic. It may be that the government did not go head to head with Djokovic at trial so as not to pay a heavier price and suffer a major reprimand from the judge. It's an embarrassment for this country.You can vote for everyone, for the government, for the tennis association, for everyone.It does not matter, the average person in the world looks at Australia and we look like idiots.We are the joke of the world now.We are supposed to showcase Australia and we did The opposite.It's embarrassing, disappointing and unfortunately I'm not so disappointed."There seem to be too many politicians who care about politics and their popularity than provide proper leadership."



Bessarabia of course celebrated the news with the headline on one of the big sites being "Novak defeated Australia".

In one newspaper they wrote in large letters: "Have you not yet learned? Do not mess with Novak."

The trial was broadcast live in the middle of the night on Serbia's state radio station.
