Djokovic.
On January 15, Beijing time, according to a number of foreign media such as CNN, the British "Independent", and the Russian Satellite News Agency, Djokovic was detained again by the Australian border management department on Saturday morning local time.
According to reports, at about 8:00 a.m. local time on January 15, Djokovic and Australian border personnel met at an agreed location between the two sides, and were detained again by the Australian border management agency after the end.
On Jan. 14, Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke again cancelled Djokovic's visa, and Hedder is now facing deportation, a decision his team of lawyers said would appeal to allow him to continue playing at the Australian Open.
Hawke issued a statement saying: "Today, I exercised my authority under section 133C(3) of the Immigration Act to cancel the visa held by Novak Djokovic on the grounds of health and good order because it was in the public interest to do so. This decision follows an order of the Federal Circuit and the Family Court on January 10, 2022, reversing previous cancellation decisions on grounds of procedural fairness. ”
"In making this decision, I have carefully considered the information provided to me by the Home Office, the Australian Border Force and Mr Djokovic. The Morrison administration is strongly committed to protecting Australia's borders, particularly during the CORONAVIRUS pandemic. I would like to express my gratitude to the officials of the Home Office and the Australian Border Force, who serve Australia's interests every day in an increasingly challenging environment. ”
It is reported that at 17:35 local time on January 14, The Deyo lawyer team was verbally informed of the decision to cancel the visa; at 17:52, the Minister of Immigration, Alex Hawke, issued a statement that the visa would be cancelled for public safety reasons; at 18:03, the Djokovic lawyer team responded in writing.
Serbian President Vucic then questioned the Australian authorities' move and responded to Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's support for the Immigration Minister's decision based on "health, a foundation of good order and the public interest".
Vucic responded via social media to a four-minute video titled: Supporting Novak Djokovic and Responding to the Australian Prime Minister.
Vucic said in the video: "If you want to ban Novak Djokovic from winning the Australian Open trophy for the 10th time, why not tell him it is impossible to get a visa. ”
"Why did you mistreat him, why did you torture him, and his free and proud family and country?" Vucic went on to say the move was part of Morrison's plan to "win elections and please the public."
Deyo's team of lawyers said they would file an appeal by noon on Saturday and asked for a hearing on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Australian Open organising committee has announced that the first half of this year's Australian Open will kick off on Monday local time, meaning that if Djokovic wins the appeal, he will be out in less than 24 hours to try to defend his title.
Previously, Djokovic has started pre-match training at the Australian Open in Melbourne, and the Australian Open has confirmed through the draw that Dr. Djokovic will play as the top seeded player and is in the same half of the zone as Nadal. Whether the men's singles world number one, who has won the Australian Open nine times, can still play smoothly this time is still unknown.
