• Explanations on Instagram Djokovic admits a "human error" when filling out the immigration form to enter Australia

Time seems to play in

Novak Djokovic

's favor , but the evidence is mounting against him.

The fact that the draw for the Australian Open box is at dawn on Thursday in Spain would not have to condition the decision of

Alex Hawke

, the Australian Immigration Minister, who was going to rule last Tuesday on his possible deportation, but he postponed the opinion upon receiving new documentation from the tennis player's legal team.

In the event of entering the draw and later being expelled from the country, the nine-time tournament champion could be replaced by a

lucky looser

, one of the qualifying players who would have been left behind.

Such has been the succession of inaccuracies or lies in which the number 1 in the world has fallen that even the Prime Minister of Serbia,

Ana Brnabic

, commented, in an interview with the BBC, that her public appearance in Belgrade after learning that she had given positive for coronavirus "could be a clear breach of the rules." These demonstrations represent a change of position among the political authorities, since they take place after the past day 6, when the border forces revoked his visa,

Alexsandar Vucic

, president of the country, charged

Scott Morrison

, Australian Prime Minister, speaking of "political hunting" against the tennis player, in the heat of the feverish state of opinion in Serbia in favor of Djokovic.

Not only would Nole

have violated the isolation rules in his country of origin, but he also incurred a falsehood when completing the entry form to Australia and there are doubts about the date of the positive by Covid, the basis on which he sustained to achieve the medical exemption that would allow him to play the tournament.

The positive would have occurred on December 16, but

Der Spiegel

and

The New York Times

published that, in principle, when scanning the QR of the report, a negative result appeared.

This would have changed later, appearing only the positive.

Explanations on Instagram

After only one day of the controversial test, Djokovic was seen in Belgrade, without a mask, at an awards ceremony with young people. Aware that the rope is tightening around him, the tennis player, who was finally allowed to enter Australia after a court ruling, explained on his Instagram account. "I was asymptomatic and I felt fine and I did not receive notification of my positive PCR test until after that event."

He did know that he had contracted the disease a day later, when he gave an interview to the newspaper

L'Équipe

. «I felt obliged to go to the interview with

L'Équipe

so as not to leave the journalist stranded, but I kept social distance and a mask all the time, except during the photographs. Returning home, I isolated myself and reflected. I made a mistake in my judgment and I admit that I had to postpone the appointment.

The French newspaper confirmed that it was. The author of the interview ,

Franck Ramella

, had been warned by the player's press officer not to ask him about the vaccination, so he decided not to question him on whether he had considered taking a test. This Wednesday, the International Association of Tennis Journalists valued what happened as extremely worrying. "As journalists, we are very careful to abide by all the rules regarding Covid-19 and we expect all players to do the same," said Simon Chambers, its vice president.

Djokovic also tried to explain the error by marking 'no' on the Australia entry form in the face of the question whether he had visited any other country in the last 14 days.

“My agent sincerely apologizes for the clerical error in choosing the wrong box.

It was a human error and certainly not deliberate, "he wrote about the document released by the federal court.

The winner of 20 Grand Slam titles spent Christmas Eve in Belgrade to travel days later to Marbella, where he said goodbye to the year and trained until the 4th, before embarking on the trip to Australia.
