For 75 minutes his lawyers Novak Djokovic presented their positions in the federal court of Melbourne asking for new revocation of his visa cancellation. Judge Anthony Kelly, who had initially acquitted the athlete, promised that his decision would be issued as soon as possible and that “Nole” would not be deported from Australia until he was younger.
The legal representatives of the Serbian tennis player protested against the delay of the government decision that came about 2-3 days before the start of the Australian Open. «I do not want to be critical, but the position they brought us is very difficult. They decided to cancel the visa after more than four days. We are now in this position due to this delay. Every minute is crucial in view of the start of the Australian Open on Monday“, They stressed.
The judge, with the clock approaching midnight in Melbourne, vowed that “… we will decide the case quicklyImplying that on Saturday or Sunday at the latest he will decide. One of Djokovic’s lawyers stressed that the government’s decision was irrational and was based on common sentiment against those who had not been vaccinated.
Djokovic is scheduled to meet with the Immigration Ministry on Saturday morning, and his lawyers have expressed concern about his possible detention, although this has not yet happened.
