Despite his half-hearted apologies, Novak Djokovic continues to be in trouble in the Corona crime thriller about his entry to Australia. Although the situation is unclear, the tennis star was assigned a first-round match at the draw.
Novak Djokovic was part of the draw despite the unclear situation about his visa at the Australian Open and is supposed to play against his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.
Decision not yet made
It is still unclear whether the tennis professional can take part in the match. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Thursday, when asked by a reporter, that Immigration Secretary Alex Hawke was considering exercising his personal rights and revoking the world’s number one visa. “These are personal ministerial powers that Secretary Hawke can use, and I will not comment on them at this time,” said Morrison. Also on Thursday evening (local time) stood no final decision has been made yet.
Tennis star despite being drawn before expulsion
Djokovic felt compelled to act. On the defensive, the 20-time Grand Slam winner publicly admitted errors on the eighth day of the farce about his residence permit in Australia, probably also to appease the investigating authorities.
However, given his negligent behavior and many unanswered questions, the risk of the Serb’s expulsion has increased even further. Djokovic is in dire straits – even a big one. As the Australian daily “Herald Sun” reports, the responsible authorities are preparing to expel the tennis superstar.
Paul Bongiorno, a columnist for the Australian newspaper “Saturday Paper”, also wrote on Twitter: “I heard that Immigration Minister Alex Hawke will expel the Joker tomorrow.” “Joker” means Novak Djokovic.
Training mit Djokovic?
The organizers of the first Grand Slam tournament of the new season invited to the draw for the Australian Open on Thursday amidst all the trials and tribulations (with Djokovic number one on the seeding list) and pointed to a public training session for the nine-time Melbourne winner at 2.15 p.m. Local time. He finished this after a good half an hour.
Will Djokovic really be there? A final decision can be expected in the early morning hours of Thursday, German time.
