At this moment, Djokovic has been trapped in Melbourne for 48 hours.
Over the past two days, the legendary player, who holds 20 Grand Slam singles titles, has experienced the most special 48 hours of his career.
After obtaining the medical exemption officially announced by the Australian Open, Deyo set off for Melbourne to participate in the Australian Open, and was detained by customs officials after landing, on the grounds that he could not provide sufficient evidence of "medical immunity".
After five hours of detention in a small black house at the airport, Djokovic was transferred to the "Park Hotel" managed by the local immigration department, where he had spent nearly 40 hours in a hotel where poor accommodation conditions used to detain refugees.
Deyo wanted to be able to come to the house he had rented in advance and isolate with the team so that he could also have a training place, and he wanted to keep himself in shape, but the Australian authorities rejected the request.
The "hotel" where Deyo was locked up
Djokovic could have opted for the next flight back to Europe rather than being detained, as Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison had said, but he chose to fight and appeal in Melbourne, with a final ruling at 10am local time next Monday.
During the time djokovic was trapped, outside the "hotel", a large number of fans gathered, Serbian fans waving national flags and protest slogans.
In Serbia, far away in Europe, President Vucic announced that the entire country was with Djokovic; parents attended press conferences and protests were held outside serbian parliament.
A number of tennis people have spoken out to cheer for Djokovic, and Kyrgios, an Australian who has always disliked Djokovic, said on social media that his government's approach is a shame.
In Australia, the federal government, the Victorian government where Melbourne is located, plus the Australian Open and the Australian Tennis Association, are fighting each other.
The Australian Ministry of Health said that we have notified the Unvaccinated people of the Internet Association twice that they cannot enter the country, but you still go through the procedures of deyo to meet the entry criteria, so we do not carry this pot.
The Australian Prime Minister said directly: "The Australian Tennis Association said that Mr. Deyo can participate, that is their decision, but here at the border, we have the final say." ”
The Australian Tennis Association launched a counterattack, saying that 3 athletes who received medical exemptions used the same type of visa as Deyo to enter the country, pointing to the federal government double standard. The federal government is now investigating the fact that a female tennis player from the Czech Republic, Volakova, has also been sent to the little black house, and she has participated in a points race in Australia in the past week.
Deyo is currently on the final ruling in the hotel, where Serbian media say he is penniless, his luggage has not been taken to the hotel, living conditions cannot be guaranteed, and he cannot be trained. But Djokovic is a fighter, a kid who grew up under fire and a 20-time tennis grand slam champion who will never compromise.
