Djokovic was successfully admitted on appeal

On February 21, 2021, local time, Djokovic in the men's singles final of the Australian Open On January 10, djokovic Djokovic, who was trapped in the isolation hotel in Melbourne, Australia, ushered in good news. Thanks to the efforts of a team of lawyers, the local court in Australia canceled the decision not to allow Djokovic to enter the country at the Australian border, and Djokovic was released from the lien hotel. But the country's law gives the immigration minister the ultimate power to cancel the Djokovic visa, so there is still suspense in the Australian Open journey to the Djokovic.

The hardest days of my career

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 and that he had contracted COVID-19 twice on 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, and he subsequently ordered Australian border authorities to immediately release Djokovic 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.

It once escalated into a diplomatic dispute

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, the medical exemption documents arranged for players by the Australian Open were exposed by the media, so the outside world questioned the role played by the Australian Open Organizing Committee in this incident, and since then, the head of the organizing committee, Terley, has not given Djokovic strong support in an interview, he only denied that the players were "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.

The Australian Minister of Immigration has the power to cancel his visa

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 exemption permits were pulled out by the Australian border guard. 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 Australia. 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.

However, 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. I wonder if the Australian federal government will "die to the end" with Djokovic?
