Tennis | Tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa to Australia revoked again – threatened with three-year visa ban

Australian the government has canceled the tennis star Novak Djokovicin to repeat the visa.

Australian Minister for Immigration Alex Hawke justified the withdrawal of the visa on the grounds that an unvaccinated Djokovic could “pose a risk to the community” and that the decision was taken in the public interest.

According to Hawke, the government is “firmly committed to protecting Australia’s borders, particularly in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic”.

According to news agencies, Djokovic will immediately receive a three-year visa ban, except in compelling circumstances.

The decision means Djokovic, the world’s number one player in the world, will not be able to make the tenth victory of his career in the Australian Open at Monday, nor in the years to come.

Djokovic’s visa was revoked earlier, but he was allowed to play in the Australian Open through a lawsuit.

It will be seen later whether Djokovic will demand a new trial.

Serbian Djokovic was scheduled to face a compatriot in the opening round of the tournament Miomir Kecmanovic on Monday or Tuesday.

Djokovic is ranked number one in the tournament and had to aim for a record-breaking 21st value win.

Critical about vaccinations Djokovicin the activity has aroused astonishment in the world of tennis.

Fourth on the world list Stefanos Tsitsipas has, for example, accused Djokovic of operating on its own rules.

“According to statistics, 98 per cent of tennis players have been vaccinated and they have done what they have had to do to be able to play in Australia,” Tsitsipas commented, according to news agencies.
