World tennis men’s singles “one brother”, Serbian tennis star Djokovic’s Australian visa incident was settled on the 16th. The Federal Court of Australia ruled on the same day that it supported the Australian government’s revocation of Djokovic’s entry visa, which meant that the Australian Open “nine-time champion” and defending champion could not participate in the 2022 Australian Open, which starts the next day.
Djokovic said he was disappointed with the ruling, but would respect the court’s decision and “cooperate with relevant authorities” on the matter of departure. Some media reporters saw that Djokovic appeared at Melbourne Tullamarine Airport on the evening of the 16th, and the Emirates flight he took flew to Dubai at around 23:00 local time.
The dispute escalated into a diplomatic rift between Serbia and Australia, drawing widespread attention. Many people accused the Australian government of mishandling.
Djokovic is 34 years old and has twice been infected with the new crown virus. He originally obtained a “medical exemption” certificate from the Australian government under the coordination of the Australian Tennis Association, the organizer of the Australian Open, and can participate in the 2022 Australian Open without the new crown vaccine. He got an Australian entry visa and flew to Melbourne Airport on the 5th, but was stopped by Australian border officials. The Australian government revoked Djokovic’s visa on the 6th and put him in “custody”. He successfully appealed, resumed his freedom of movement on the 10th, and started training. The Australian government revoked his visa again on the 14th, on the grounds that he did not receive the required new crown vaccine and brought health and safety risks to the Australian public, and “guarded” him again on the 15th.According to Xinhua
