8:45 am: Djokovic obtains a stay of his expulsion !!!
We are already holding the first sports-diplomatico-health soap opera of the year 2022. Originally, everything was simple: Novak Djokovic was to play the Australian Open, from January 17 to 30, to try to win a 10th title in Melbourne, and thus become the first man to hold 21 Majors.
