The 2022 Australian Open will take place at Melbourne Park from 17 to 30 January. But today there was heavy news outside the arena that world number one Djokovic would miss the Australian Open because his visa was cancelled, and he also lost the best chance to make history. He has previously won 20 Grand Slams, tied for first place with Federer and Nadal.
The incident began with Djokovic posting a New Year's message on social media on Jan. 4, at the end of which he said he had "received a medical exemption and will travel to Australia today". Indeed, Djokovic's application was approved by two medical committees of the Australian Open. But there was a huge reversal in one day, and it is unknown what went wrong, but the main reason is the new virus, Omil krong, which is also caused by the ravages of the new virus, including Australia, at such a critical moment, it is not difficult to understand that the players participating in the competition are not allowed to participate without vaccination if there are no special circumstances. Because Djokovic is ranked no. 1 in the world and Melbourne is his blessed land, the impact of things is particularly large.
Djokovic has filed a lawsuit with the Australian Federal Circuit, but the chances of success are slim. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Djokovic would have to return directly if he could not prove he qualified for a medical exemption. Morrison said: "There will be no special treatment, rules are rules." ”
I don't know why Djokovic did not get vaccinated, in 2020 he was infected with the new crown virus, when it was only a very slight no big problem, fans also thought that he had been vaccinated with the new crown vaccine, at present it seems that Djokovic is very rejected by vaccines, otherwise the world will not be unaware of the seriousness of the epidemic. If his appeal is dismissed, he will also pay for his stubbornness, delaying his pace of becoming the first person in history, and the chance of winning a Grand Slam in the future will become more and more difficult.
Djokovic's luck in the past two years is indeed not very good, in the moment of making history frequent problems, in the 2020 US Open Djokovic against the Spanish player Busta, Djokovic vented the ball hit the division line was directly awarded, although Djokovic apologized to the female referee, but also explained the reason with the referee, but Djokovic was still sentenced to lose the game directly. In the 2021 US Open, Djokovic lost 0-3 in the final to Medvedev, which was a rare time for him to be swept in the final, and he was in good shape at the time, which can only show that the young players have grown up, and Djokovic's hegemony is no longer so solid.
This year's Australian Open Deyo is the biggest favorite to win the championship, and it is his best venue, it is also a pity to get out in such a way, but such a result is self-inflicted, no one has any privileges, and you can't blame others, you are the world's first influential, but you have not fulfilled the social responsibility of a good star.
