Melbourne: World number one tennis player Novak Djokovic has been denied a visa by Australia. On December 16, Djokovic’s lawyers presented evidence in the Federal Circuit and Family Court in Melbourne that he had contracted the Kovid-19 virus.
Djokovic’s new argument is that he was given a waiver on the vaccine because he could not stay long after Kovid’s release. Joko is staying at Quarantine, a hotel that houses immigrant lawbreakers. The star’s urgent appeal will be heard tomorrow. Joko Tulamarine arrives at the airport at 6 a.m. ahead of the Australian Open Grand Slam. The visa was denied because of the inability to produce vaccination documents or medical exemptions.
The lawyers approached the court and obtained an order not to send him back till the hearing. The Australian Border Force detained Joko for eight hours. The world number one is hoping to play in the Australian Open starting on the 17th. Here, Joko is aiming for his 10th title and 21st Grand Slam record.
One more loop
Djokovic’s participation as the chief guest at a tennis tournament the day after the Kovid-19 virus was confirmed was controversial. Joko participated in a tournament for young players in Belgrade. The Belgrade Tennis Federation posted pictures of the superstar presenting trophies and prizes to the winners on Facebook.
The federation claims that only the winning players and Joko attended the ceremony at the Novak Tennis Center. Federation officials and 20 young players posted photos of themselves standing with Joko. No one, including Joko, was wearing a mask. Djokovic also attended a ceremony on December 16 to honor the Serbian National Postal Service. Joko himself posted pictures on Instagram of the release of the stamps that day, which included career achievements. Defending champion Joko has won the Australian Open nine times so far.
