The number 1 in world tennis, the Serbian Novak Djokovicwill explain “in 7 to 10 days” his “side of the story” of his expulsion from Australia in January for breaching the health protocol due to the pandemic, which prevented him from playing the first Grand Slam it’s from the season.
“I ask for patience; in the next seven to ten days I will address the media in more detail with, so to speak, my version of the story and everything that happened in Australia”, declared the tennis player before numerous journalists after meeting with the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucicwithout giving further details.
This was Djokovic’s first public appearance since his forced return to Serbia and it served the tennis player to thank the head of state for support he offered her during her legal battle against the Australian authorities in their quest to try to stay in that country to win a tenth title in Melbourne.
After having initially obtained a visa to enter Australia, thanks to a certificate proving that the Serbian tennis player had contracted the COVID-19 A month before the tournament, Djokovic, who has not been vaccinated against the coronavirus, was expelled by the Australian government, after 10 days of judicial soap opera, for posing a “health risk”.
The Serbian Prosecutor’s Office announced on Wednesday that the results of the PCR tests provided by Djokovic in order to obtain the derogation to enter Australian territory were “valid”, despite the suspicions of fraud raised by some media.
The Australian Open was finally won by the Spanish Rafael Nadal, achieving his 21st Grand Slam, a historic milestone to which Djokovic also aspired, who has 20, the same as the Swiss Roger Federer.
Since he had to return to his country on January 17, Djokovic has barely appeared in public and has made no statement. (D)
