The development comes as the tennis World No. 1 is confined to a hotel in Melbourne as he mounts a legal challenge to the revocation of his visa ahead of the tournament. "Mr Djokovic had received, on 30 December 2021, a letter from the Chief Medical Officer of Tennis Australia recording that he had been provided with a 'Medical exemption from COVID vaccination' on the grounds that he had recently recovered from COVID," the document said.
Djokovic's visa was then canceled on January 6 at 4:11 am local time, under Section 116 of the Migration Act, which"allows for the cancellation of a visa where the holder poses a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community, or to an individual within the Australian community.
Eventhough he is the world's 1 in Tennis, HE IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE CITIZEN! Other people have hard time taking the COVID-19 vaccine and HE? Didn't even get a jab?! Oh men! Omicron is waving!🦠🦠🦠😷😷😷
He was given approval by Tennis Australia to play, but not to enter the country. That is the role of the Australian Government. Do US sports bodies issue visas to the US?
And yet they kicked out the other player that tested positive.
Australia Close 2022!!
Too bad women players don't get equal treatment, that gal with anxiety that couldn't do interviews got canned, this scrub gets a pass for a comicable disease... During a pandemic.
All that drama just to allow him in🙄
Wasn't he going out to public events on the 17th and 18th of December?
Falta que aproveche de vacunarse, para darle buen ejemplo a sus fans.
Wasn't he meant to recover?🙄
Sport doesn't matter Tennis is a Yawn-a-thon. None of this matters.
wonder if someone coming in from South Africa will get the same treatment...
I wonder why it's still called the Aussie Open? Shouldn't they rather change it to the Aussie Closed Tennis Tournament, seeing how very selective the Aussies are?
That is bullshit !! The medical exemption is wrong. Everyone should get the shot period. For the evolution of man but on the other hand all non vaxers can die since they don't believe in the vaccine.
DjokerNole never rooted for him until.. new fan .. LFG
Do you want to vector a logo or image? I will give you the job perfectly in 1 day for only 5 dollars. Contract:
Doesn't want to get vaccinated, gets Covid, doesn't want to get vaccinated again, gets Covid again. Stupid don't learn apparently.
MASSIVE W
I can’t stand this guy! He’s such a diva!
What a racket this all is
So many twitter doctors.
He’s using his religion as an excuse
Check that exemption !
If Djokovic has antibody protection on the same level as that granted by a vaccine, I don't see any reason that he shouldn't play in the Australian open. I don't understand anti-vaxxers, but I teach high school kids and sometimes they need to do things a particular way. It is...
Survived covid 5 times by now
Tested positive (really?) again on 16th Dec! On 17th Dec surrounded by a bunch of people & KIDS… no quarantine, no mask, no distance!!! Where is that mentioned in your article?
Good decision. It would have made him look like a victim and all antivaxxers like this Novax here would have gotten more radicalized in their thinking otherwise.
His own social media accounts would suggest otherwise…
Boooooooo👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
To compete, BUT no to enter the country, which requires double vaccination.
By no respecting rules from another country, he's already trying 2 show he's superior than Aussies. Regardless of his status N Tennis, he's as human as D rest of us & as of now, millions are dying worldwide Bcose of D same beliefs he has. Selfish Djokovic!
I don’t buy this crap . Why didn’t he get the med exemption before he got Covid? They are lying 🤥
Sounds like he tried to use Tennis Australia rules to override border security and immigration laws to sneakily slide in.
Ummmm, reading that he was told back in Nov that a recent COVID positive test would not exempt him from vaccination requirements, and then pitching a fit when almost 2 months later he 'finds out' he can't use a recent positive to get in... they better boot him on Monday!
Now, this is his story. Why not mention this before
Does not make him exempt from entering the country.
When on the 17th of December he was picking something up……..
No one does it better than him I did definitely choose him over any other trader! During those turbulent days I invested $900 and to my biggest shock I got return of $7,000 in 8 trading days. His diligence and sincerity can’t be overlooked tyron_robert7
