On Sunday morning (16/01), the three-member federal court decided the final deportation of Novak Djokovic from Australia, rejecting the last objection of the Serbian tennis player.
In fact, a few hours later, the No. 1 in the world rankings left from Melbourne to Dubai, stating that he feels disappointed, but can do nothing but respect the decision.
Novak Djokovic’s family issued a statement expressing their displeasure dissatisfaction for the development of the case, while emphasizing that they are hiding behind political interests and expediencies.
The announcement in detail:
“We are very disappointed with the court’s decision to deport Novak. This decision was not only about sports and his participation in the first Grand Slam of the season in which Novak has dominated for a decade, but it was also about political interests that were involved in the case. Despite their scandalous behavior towards Novak, we believe that the sport will win. We believed that the original ruling of the Court would be accepted and respected – that Novak had a valid visa – and that justice would shine without other interests in the middle.
It is a difficult time especially for Novak but what we will all do is support our family and Novak more than ever.
We will be here to support him and help him regain his energy, his faith in the sport and above all the fair play that is absent from this case. We are proud of him, of the courage, strength and integrity he has shown. We believe that he will come out stronger from this situation and that he will soon prove that he is a champion and a good man.
The Djokovic family. “
