Reported by Reuters.
Djokovic was asymptomatic, so he obtained written permission from the Australian Department of Immigration before traveling to the country with a medical vaccination exemption.
This was stated by his lawyers in a court statement.
The tennis player tested positive for coronavirus on December 16, 2021.
After 14 days, he had no symptoms of the virus.
Recall that on January 5, Djokovic arrived in Melbourne to participate in the Australian Open, which will begin on January 17.
However, the Australian border guard detained the tennis player at the airport.
The Serb has tried to enter the country on a visa type that does not allow the fact that he has a medical exemption from coronavirus vaccination.
At the moment, the tennis player is in immigration isolation and has filed a complaint with the court against the decision of the border services.
The final decision will be made on January 10th.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian national team lost to the Canadian team in the semifinals of the ATP Cup.
