The Australian justice began this Monday to analyze whether or not to deport Serbian tennis player
Novak Djokovic,
who has been isolated since Thursday in a hotel in the city of Melbourne after the authorities of the oceanic country
revoked his visa for not being vaccinated.
The one-day hearing at Melbourne Federal Circuit Court, which was scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. local time (23:00 GMT on Sunday),
started late and with technical problems
in the online broadcast.
The day before, Judge
Anthony Kelly
rejected a request from the Australian Government to delay the hearing until Wednesday.
The first shift in the morning corresponds to the Serbian tennis player's lawyers, who have
two hours to present their arguments
against Australia's decision to revoke Djokovic's visa upon his arrival in the country last Wednesday.
According to documents filed in court over the weekend, the world's number one legal team argues that the 34-year-old Serbian received an assessment from Australia's Department of the Interior via email saying that he met the requirements to enter the country without quarantine.
Also that
Djokovic tested positive for covid on December 16
and that two weeks later he was recovered, so on January 1 he had been given permission to enter Australia without being vaccinated.
Lawyers for the Australian Government maintain, for their part, that Djokovic, known for opposing mandatory immunization against covid-19,
did not receive guarantees that his exemption would be accepted
to enter the country without being vaccinated.
The world's number one tennis player landed at Melbourne Airport on Wednesday night to participate in the
Australian Open,
which will be held between January 17 and 30.
Djokovic wants to clarify his situation so that he will be considered in the Australian Open tennis draw, which if he wins it would become his
10th title of that tournament
and his 21st Grand Slam.
The Australian Government, which has the possibility of using powers to deport the Serbian tennis player, requires travelers to have the complete schedule of the covid-19 vaccine or a valid medical exemption to enter the country.
