Novak Djokovic, No. 1 in the world ranking of men's tennis singles, will be heard in a local court on the 10th due to the refusal to enter Australia over the vaccination of the new corona vaccine.

Djokovic claims that he was exempted from vaccination because of his history of infection with the new corona, and the focus is on whether he will be admitted to the country.

Djokovic was denied entry when he arrived at the Melbourne airport on the 5th to compete in the Australian Open, which opens on the 17th of this month.



Completion of vaccination is one of the conditions for entry for athletes participating in the competition, and if vaccination is not possible due to medical reasons, a committee established by the local state authorities will examine it.



According to Djokovic, the tournament organizer contacted him last month that he was granted an exemption from vaccination because he was infected with the new corona, but the Australian government has granted an exemption from vaccination based solely on his infection history. I'm not supposed to.



Djokovic, who is currently detained at his accommodation in Melbourne, will be dissatisfied with the decision and will be tried in a local court on the 10th.



Serbian Prime Minister Brunavic has also made it clear that he is working with the Australian government to help Djokovic enter the country, with a focus on admission.



Local media reported that there were several players and related persons who were not granted visa exemption other than Djokovic, and among them, Czech female players who had already entered the country were also revoked their visas and left the country on the 8th. It means that it was done.
