Foreign media: Australian prime minister said "Djokovic will not be banned from entry for three years"

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, Australian Prime Minister Morrison said on the 17th that Australia is still open to Djokovic whose visa was cancelled, and he may not be banned from entering Australia for three years.

Morrison said on an Australian radio show: "[Djokovic] has a chance to come back and, where appropriate, we will consider it at that time." ”

He also pointed out that in the current epidemic situation, there will be no special treatment for Djokovic who has not been vaccinated.

Deyo left Melbourne under the supervision of Australian officials.

After losing the final trial on the 16th, Djokovic said he was "extremely disappointed" by the verdict, but would respect the court's decision and "cooperate with the (Australian) authorities" on the departure matter. He also said he intends to spend some time resting and recovering.

It is reported that Deyo appeared at Melbourne Airport on the evening of the 16th, and the Emirates Airlines flight he took flew to Dubai at about 23:00 local time.

The International Professional Tennis Federation (ATP) also issued a statement saying the verdict was "the end of a series of deeply regrettable events" and that it would take time to learn its lessons.

Djokovic's absence was a loss to the Australian Open, the statement also said, and the ATP at the same time "continues to strongly recommend vaccinations against all players".

In addition, Serbian President Vucic still supports his sports superstar: "I spoke with Djokovic. I told him we couldn't wait to see him. I told him that Serbia would always welcome him (home). ”
