The family declined to answer questions about Djokovic’s positive PCR test
The Djokovic family faced a barrage of questions from the press about the fact that although he tested positive for Covid on December 16, he attended events in the following days.
Asked about his actions, the player’s family did not answer, instead announcing that the press conference was interrupted. The interview ended with the family shaking hands and singing a Serbian patriotic song: “I come from Serbia, I never leave it”.
Djokovic was “tortured” and deprived of his human rights
Djokovic’s mother, Dijana, claimed that her son “suffered torture”. Srdjan’s father commented that his “human rights” had been taken away, saying that he was not allowed to have contact with friends, his team or his lawyers.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said earlier Monday that Djokovic had been “treated the same as everyone else”. “There are no special rules for tennis players or anyone else,” he said.
Novak “supports freedom of choice”
He said that his brother went to Australia to fight and win the trophy and break the record (at the Australian Open) that he had been chasing for so many years. He claimed that Novak had all the documents requested of him, including the medical exemption, when he traveled to Australia.
He called his brother “an athlete above all else” and said he “supports freedom of choice” – possibly a reference to Novak’s choice not to be vaccinated.
Djokovic’s brother thanked the judge who ruled the case, looking at the story “seriously” and “analyzing every fact”.
“As a family we had a lot of difficulties, my brother and I are very emotional, it is very difficult to defend Novak and not offend anyone at the same time.
“We are fighting for justice and the rule of law. “We did everything we could to follow the procedures and show everyone in the world that we must send love to Novak.”
George added that his brother has already returned to the field to train today.
“Novak is free. A few minutes ago, he trained on a tennis court. “He came to Australia to play tennis, to try to win another Australian Open.”
“It has been characterized in different ways for many years and has always advocated freedom of choice.”
He added that Novak went to Australia to compete and win the trophy and break the record he had been chasing for so many years.
According to him, his brother had all the documents requested of him, including the medical exemption, when he traveled to Australia.
He called him “above all an athlete” and said he “supports freedom of choice” – possibly a reference to Novak’s choice not to be vaccinated.
“I want to thank everyone in the world who stood up and supported him in Melbourne in front of this so-called hotel,” said Dijana Djokovic – a reference to the immigration hotel where Novak was briefly detained.
“The biggest victory of his career”
“I want to thank everyone in the world who stood up and supported him in Melbourne in front of this so-called hotel,” Nole’s mother commented sharply.
“This is the biggest victory of his career, it’s bigger than any Grand Slam,” he said. “He has done nothing wrong, he has not violated any of their laws. He has been harassed. “He fought against the system and the government because he had the right to be there. “We have never faced a situation like this before,” he added. Dijana Djokovic said she was unable to contact her son at times and was not sure what was happening.
