After the Australian authorities canceled his visa and then expelled him from the country, Novak Djokovic has filed an appeal and in these hours his request will be examined by Melbourne judge Anthony Kelly.
In practice, the tennis number 1 was attempting to enter Australia on a visa that does not allow medical exemptions for not being vaccinated against the coronavirus.
From Serbia, after President Aleksandar Vucic, the Minister of Sport Vanja Udovicic also intervened in defense of the champion: "It's absurd and shameful! I am shocked by the treatment given to Novak, and I cannot believe that anyone can treat the best tennis player in the world. Serbia is with you, "said Udovicic quoted by the Serbian media.
