Good day friends I believe that many of you know who Novak Djokovic is. The best tennis player in the world, a SERB, a good man ... I had to emphasize this, a Serb, because there has always been a struggle for the destruction of Serbs for centuries. But that doesn't matter now, because I don't want this post to turn into a political debate, because I've seen many times here how cruel some people are in expressing their views, especially when someone disagrees with him. The man donated money to Australia two years ago when the country was fighting fires, but that speaks volumes about him. Now the same country is giving him back in a way that they want to deport. One Serb managed to defeat the system, even if he is deported, he is already the winner. I am glad to see that he has the incredible support of many people in Australia. Do you always agree with the attitudes and policies of your countries? Picture of Novak from an immigration hotel in Australia

@mildredtabitha Yes, he has a family. He has a wife and two small children. He has a 4-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son. He also has parents and two younger brothers.

I rarely watch sports, but the whole world talks about it, and it comes from my country, so I have to know.

I hope they get all of that resolved. The Australian Open will be tainted if they keep Djokovic out. As for whether I agree with the policies of my country, I live in America, so that’s not possible anymore.

@Nevena83 — truthfully, I think the time has come for us to become two different countries.

Yes, I believe Australia made a big mistake. People who live there say that it is a political struggle, because there will be elections there soon, and that is one of the ways to collect points from voters. Uh, I don't know what to say about America ... I see that people there are really very disappointed in politics. Many did not like the previous president, but I see that they are not satisfied with the current one either.

You mean they wanted to deport him, after giving money for the fires? That seems strange. There must be more to the story.

@snowy22315 I don't like injustice, so I hope that in the end everything will be fine.

No, I wanted to say that he donated money to that country when it was needed, and they return it to him in this way. They want to deport him and they kept him in an immigration hotel for a few days for no reason. After several hours of presenting the arguments of both sides, the Australian court annulled the decision of the Federal Government of Australia on the abolition of visas and the deportation of Novak Djokovic. Judge Etoni Kelly accepted the arguments of Djokovic's lawyers from the appeal against the government's decision and confirmed that Novak had complete documentation for the medical exemption on the basis of which he came to Australia. The fight of the world number 1 with the Australian authorities is not over yet, but a big step has been made towards appearing at the upcoming Australian Open. Australian authorities are announcing an appeal against this decision. Despite the legal victory, Djokovic could be left without a visa, and the decision is in the hands of the Minister of Emigration, Alex Hawke. However, under Australian law, there is a chance that his visa will be revoked, if Minister Hawk decides so. Christopher Tran, the prosecutor in this case, pointed out that the minister would consider the move, but did not specify on what basis he would do so.

I sometimes vouch for a middle path. May be he could have been allowed to play after a hard quarantine. But I do not feel that the Australian Open organizers did not base the decision based on nationality. May be the handling could have been different.

@Nevena83 Politics should not interfere with Sports. But sometimes in a Democracy, Thr leaders give in to public demands - whether logical or not.

@Nevena83 Yes the court has overruled the Government decision and there are many pro Novak protests in Australia. But now it is a big issue and nobody knows what Australian Government would do.

He received permission to play in the Australian Open, which starts on January 17. Australian authorities are demanding that all foreigners entering the country be revaccinated. Otherwise, they have to go to quarantine for 14 days. But Djokovic, who is believed not to have been vaccinated, announced on social media that he has received a medical exemption with which he enters the country and can play in the Grand Slam tournament. Tennis Australia, the organizer of the tournament, confirmed that Djokovic received a permit to participate and enter, in accordance with the rules, which include exemption from vaccination due to health reasons. Scott Morrison, the Prime Minister of Australia, initially accepted the decision of the authorities of the state of Victoria to give Djokovic permission to play with a medical exemption. But the very next day, Morrison expressed a different view, saying that the federal authorities would return Djokovic if he did not provide adequate evidence as to why he received the exemption.

@Nevena83 What a stab in the back.I don't see what the big deal because you can still catch and spread Covid even if fully vaccinated and boostered

@askme123 Yes, they let him and then at the airport when he arrived they suddenly revoked his visa. That's right, vaccinated people also transmit the virus and get sick.

It is difficult to talk about this without raising a political discussion I think. When a rule is in place, if you break the rule, you should be prepared for the consequences of doing so--not all rules are good--but to focus exclusively on the validity of the rule, in this case, is misplaced in my opinion. He may be a great guy--but that doesn't mean he is always right.
