Australia Deports Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic's arrival to Australia has been controversial. Many people there are furious with the government for allowing the world's top tennis player to enter the Kangaroo Country despite refusing to disclose his COVID-19 vaccination status.

The pressure that finally made the government move .

They revoked Djokovic's visa, and this will result in him canceling his participation in the 2021 Australian Open.

The Serbian tennis player even had to be stopped at Melbourne airport for several hours. It was then announced he did not meet the entry requirements to Australia and would be deported.

Citing the BBC, currently Djokovic is in a government detention hotel. There he was just waiting for the scheduled departure of flights out of Australia.

"Failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet entry requirements to Australia, and his visa was subsequently cancelled," the Australian border team said in a statement.

"Non-citizens who do not have a valid entry visa or whose visa has been canceled will be detained and expelled from Australia."

Regarding Djokovic, it has become a byword in Australia. He tried to find another way to enter Australia, namely with the view of medical experts so that he could still hide his COVID-19 vaccination status.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said no one could get an excuse. State rules must be number one.

The Father's Anger

His father, Srdjan Djokovic, was angered by the treatment of the Australian government. According to him, this is not about his son, but also the whole world."This is not just a fight for Novak, but a fight for the whole world," he said.

Indeed, a year ago it was reported that Djokovic was an opponent of the COVID-19 vaccination. However, the news about whether he has been vaccinated or not is a question mark.

Considering that as an athlete he had to move countries to appear in tournaments. And almost all countries now require COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of entry.
