On the evening of January 17, Beijing time, Djokovic, who had no chance to play in the Australian Open, arrived in Belgrade this evening Beijing time, and after a 24-hour trek, Djokovic finally returned to his hometown smoothly.
Djokovic took off from Melbourne, Australia, on the evening of January 16, arrived in Dubai on January 17 for a connecting flight, and after a transfer in Dubai, Djokovic flew directly to Belgrade, which lasted more than 24 hours, returning to cold Belgrade from the hot southern hemisphere summer.
After Deyo arrived at Belgrade Airport, he took a warm photo with fans and airport staff. After a long journey, Djokovic was slightly tired. There are many Djokovic supporters waiting outside the airport for pick-up, and although they did not have the opportunity to play in this year's Australian Open, Djokovic still has a heroic presence in Serbia.
This trip to Australia was a nightmare for Djokovic. Upon arriving in Melbourne on 5 January, he was denied entry and held in a quarantine hotel. On 10 January, Deyo appealed successfully and regained his freedom. But on 14 January, Australia's Immigration Minister cancelled Djokovic's visa twice, and Djokovic's second appeal failed to win, which made him unable to play at this year's Australian Open, and he is likely not to be able to travel to Melbourne for the next three years.
Upon returning to Belgrade, Djokovic will spend some time with his family. For Deyo, who has just experienced the visa storm, only the warmth of home can make him forget the unsatisfactory outside the field.
