The international press reflects this Thursday (6) the decision of Australia to bar the entry of tennis player Novak Djokovic.
The world’s number 1 tennis player is at the center of a controversy for not revealing whether he was immunized against Covid-19. In addition, he sought special authorization to compete in the tournament, in which he would attempt his 21st Grand Slam title.
He filed a request for an injunction to prevent deportation.
The New York Times claims that, having been denied entry to Australia, tennis player Novak Djokovic ends the chance to defend his title of champion at the Australian Open.
The headline of the legal fight against deportation shares space in the Australian The Age with a photo of the tennis player with his mouth open and an expression of astonishment.
Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald highlights the opinion of Abul Rizvi, a former Assistant Secretary for Immigration, who calls the situation ridiculous. He writes about the difference between the special authorization for the tournament and the clearance to enter the country and says that it is surprising that government bodies have not acted to avoid the problem.
For the Serbian Telegraf, the best tennis player in the world received a disgraceful treatment in Melbourne when he was banned from entering Australia.
The rage in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is featured in The Times. The Daily Beast addresses Djokovic’s attempt to remain in Australia to play in the tournament.
