“And after all that, he shows support for a young 17-year-old player, that’s Nole: a human being, a brother, see you in Paris.”
The lawyers hired by the 34-year-old Serbian failed to convince the Federal Courts that their client does not pose a threat to the community despite not being vaccinated against the coronavirus, nor does he feed the movement against the vaccination.
Djokovic has learned the verdict after spending this last night at the Park Hotel in Melbourne, also used as an immigration detention center, and has been replaced by tennis player Salvatore Caruso in the match he was due to face tomorrow against his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.
The French Sports Minister, Roxana Maracineanu, pointed out that Novak “will be able to participate in the competition because the protocol and the health bubble of these major sporting events will allow it.”
“Australians have made great sacrifices to get to this point and the Morrison Government is firmly committed to protecting this position, as the Australian people expect.”
If the Serbian tennis player is not vaccinated, he will not be able to enter London to play Wimbledon or travel to the United States for the US Open. Right now I could only play Roland Garros.
“I respect the Court’s decision and will cooperate with the relevant authorities. It bothers me that the focus in recent weeks has been on me and I hope that now we can all focus on the game and the tournament that I love.”
“It has been a witch hunt against a person and a country. They wanted to show in Novak how the world order works and what they can do against anyone. Thanks to the Australian people as I am sure they love the Serbs. They think they have humiliated Djokovic, but they have humiliated themselves and he can go back to his country and look everyone in the eye with his head held high.
The lawyers hired by the 34-year-old Serbian failed to convince the Federal Courts that their client does not pose a threat to the community despite not being vaccinated against the coronavirus, nor does he feed the movement against the vaccination.
“Our Government has always understood this and has been willing to take the necessary decisions and actions to protect the integrity of our borders. I thank the Tribunal for its prompt attention to these matters and the patience of all involved as we have worked to resolve this matter. Now is the time to continue with the Australian Open and enjoy tennis again during the summer.”
“I respect the Court’s decision and will cooperate with the relevant authorities. It bothers me that the focus in recent weeks has been on me and I hope that now we can all focus on the game and the tournament that I love.”
He said Djokovic had shown little regard for coronavirus restrictions by ignoring a positive Covid-19 test and not wearing a mask during a photo shoot. Lloyd said that could threaten public health by encouraging others to ignore health instructions.
