Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic He trained this Friday in Melbourne for the third day in a row ahead of the Australian Open on Monday, while awaiting the government’s decision on his possible deportation.

The number one in the world came out again this morning to one of the courts of Melbourne Park to practice while the Australian authorities they meditate if they cancel their visa a second time after he decided to travel to Australia without being vaccinated against covid-19.

The Balkan tennis player was included this Thursday in the Australian Open draw and will play his first round match against his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic Monday or Tuesday in case you can finally stay in the ocean country.

One more day, all attention is focused on the decision of the Australian Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke, on the 34-year-old tennis player’s stay in Australia, after a court ordered his release last Monday and allowed him to stay in the country.

In the middle of a wave of outrage in Australia, The tennis player arrived in Melbourne on January 5 – to participate in the tournament – with a medical exemption for not being vaccinated, but immigration agents denied him a visa and he was held in a hotel while his lawyers appealed to an Australian court.

Facing the anticipated decision of the Government, which may have a great impact on the tournament, the Minister of Finance, Simon Birmingham, said today in an interview on the public broadcaster ABC that Australia has a “very clear” border protection policy.

“We have been very clear since we began to reopen the borders at the end of last year that, If you are not an Australian citizen, you must receive a double dose of the vaccine to enter the country, unless you have a clear and acceptable medical exemption, “said the minister.

In the event that the Minister of Immigration decides to cancel your visa, the player could again appeal the decision to justice.

If another legal process is initiated, the Serbian tennis player, known for his criticism of mandatory vaccinations, could be deprived of liberty again or perhaps allowed to play the tournament while the trial takes place.

In any case, you will not be able to finish the championship if a court confirms a hypothetical cancellation of your visa.
