Djokovic, 34, was denied entry into Melbourne and thus missed the opportunity to win the Australian title for the fourth expansion in a row. The reason is that he does not meet the entry criteria of the Australian Federation.
The world's No. 1 player has not been vaccinated, he is detained in an illegal immigrant, then canceled a visa and banned from entering Australia for 3 years.
Djokovic returned to his hometown of Serbia and almost kept silent about this issue, but his Marian Vajda did not accept silence. Vajda said Sport Klub: “I still don't understand why they did that to him. It was an unhealthy and unfair decision.
I have not contacted him since he came to Belgrade. It is clear that it (Djokovic canceled visa) has hit his spirit, it will hurt him for a long time and it is difficult to take it out of his head.
The coach with Djokovic from 2006 spoke out to protect his students, and he accused Australia on turning Djokovic into a good army on the political chessboard.
“We wrote to each other, we haven't talked over the phone. He used his mobile phone very little. It was probably a great suffering. He humbly endured everything, but what they did to him had to be remembered. It smelled political smell.”
Meanwhile, Djokovic still has the opportunity to return to Australian Open if he accepts vaccination in the near future. In the immediate future, the 34 -year -old will be banned from attending Australian Open until 2025.
But he can re -export earlier in special cases. News.au said: “The ban can be exempted in special cases, including the abolition of the ban if the benefits of Australia. Djokovic can find a reason to be present at Australian Open 2023 and 2024.”
