On January 10, djokovic Djokovic, a man trapped in an isolation hotel in Melbourne, Australia, received good news. Thanks to the efforts of the team of lawyers, the local court in Australia canceled the decision not to allow Djokovic to enter the country at the Australian border. Djokovic was released from the Liuzhi Hotel. But the country's law gives the immigration minister the ultimate power to cancel the Djokovic visa. Therefore, there is still suspense in Deyo's Australian Open.
After the court's verdict on Djokovic's appeal was successful, the relevant documents of the court were also exposed. Djokovic confirmed at the time of entry that he had not been vaccinated. He was infected with COVID-19 twice in June 2020 and December 16, 2021. His legal team challenged in court that the Australian border department's decision to revoke Djokovic's visa was not justified. The judge said he thought so too. He then ruled that the Australian border authorities needed to release Djokovic immediately and bear the costs associated with the appeal. As the news came to light, dozens of Djokovic supporters danced outside the Melbourne Liuzhi Hotel to celebrate. Djokovic then left the hotel in a white mPV provided by the Australian border authorities.
Since the moment he entered Australia on the evening of January 5, Djokovic has experienced the most difficult days of his career. Items such as Djokovic's carry-on luggage and personal cell phones were confiscated after Australian border officials determined that the medical exemption documents he presented were not in compliance. After being liened at Melbourne Airport for seven hours, he was taken by border officials to a hotel in Melbourne for illegal arrivals.
After Djokovic's lien incident attracted attention from all parties, it once escalated into a diplomatic dispute between Serbia and Australia, where Djokovic is located. Djokovic's family has since held a press conference revealing that Djokovic's accommodation at the Melbourne hotel is poor and lacks the necessary training conditions.
During Djokovic's lien, medical exemption documents arranged for players at the Australian Open were exposed by the media. Therefore, the outside world has questioned the role played by the Australian Open organizing committee in this incident. Since then, the head of the organizing committee, Terry, has not given Djokovic strong support in an interview. Terry simply denied that the players had been "deliberately misled" on the issue of medical exemptions. "There's a lot of finger-pointing and prevarication right now, but I can assure you that our team has done an incredible job and, based on all the information provided, they've done everything possible." Terry said.
As Djokovic's medical exemption continued to spread, the relevant officials and players of the Australian Open who had previously entered the country with medical exemptions were pulled out by the Australian Border Service. The department confirmed on the evening of the 7th that the third person to enter Australia using a medical exemption permit was an official who had voluntarily left the country. Czech player Volakova's visa has been cancelled. Voracova did not seek legal bailout, she announced that she had foregone her entry into the Australian Open and had left Australia.
At this point, with the decision of the local court in Australia, the incident ended in a dramatic form. The two officials and athletes who had previously entered the country normally with medical exemption documents had missed the Australian Open. Although the "initiator" Djokovic successfully escaped from the Liuzhi Hotel, what kind of mentality he will use to prepare for the upcoming Australian Open on the 17th, whether there is still enough motivation to compete for his 21st Grand Slam trophy, it is still unknown. There is no criticism of the lack of communication and coordination between the Australian federal government and local governments and the organizers of the competition.
In addition, Djokovic is not certain that he can participate in the Australian Open. Because under the country's law, although the court ruled in favor of Djokovic, government lawyer Chris Taian said australia's immigration minister had the right to cancel Djokovic's visa. If the minister makes a decision to cancel the visa, Djokovic will be barred from entering Australia for three years. It is not known whether the Australian federal government will "die to the end" with Djokovic.
