The first battle was won for him Novak Djokovic. The Melbourne Federal Court rejected the Australian Home Office request for a 48-hour postponement in the trial of the case of the ban on entry to the country for the Serbian tennis player.
Authorities demanded instead of Monday, as originally scheduled and will eventually take place, that the trial take place on Wednesday, in order to prepare their “line” in more detail. Rejection of the request translates to “Nole” victory, as the organizing authority of the Australian Open pushed for a final decision until Tuesday, in order to register the Serb in the official list of participants and for the necessary draws for the Grand Slam that starts on January 17.
In contrast to the Ministry’s side, Djokovic’s legal representatives already have his defense ready. They already have one ready 35-page memo in which they analyze in detail why the decision to cancel the visa to enter the country given to the nine-time winner of the Australian Open should be revoked. Djokovic’s lawyers rely on the provision that if someone has been ill for the last six months, they do not need to be vaccinated, based on what is provided by the Australian health authorities. “Nole” states that he had fallen ill in December and therefore had every right to receive a medical exemption to travel to the country, while he states that he was shocked, surprised and confused when he was detained at the airport and was not allowed to enter the country.
The trial of the attack begins in the early hours of Monday and within the day (10/1) we will know if Djokovic will finally get the right to stay in Australia and take part in the Australian Open or will be deported.
