The commotion around the Serb started more than a week ago. Before departing to Australia, the tennis player admitted on Instagram that he had received a vaccine waiver and was classified as a “medical exception.” Upon arrival in Melbourne, the Serb spent the night at the airport. He was then transported to an immigration hotel. His visa was canceled but he appealed to the court. Although on Monday the judge overruled the decision to deport the tennis player, on Thursday the immigration minister Alex Hawke decided to cancel Serb’s visa again and the case went to court again, where Djoković eventually lost.
