Australian media are reporting on Friday the final decision of the Australian Minister of Immigration Alex Hawke for the serial of Novak Djokovic.
According to 7 News journalist Robert Ovandia, it is “almost certain” that the decision will be made tomorrow. However, as the Australian Open kicks off on Monday, the decision has to be made soon and time is running out for the Immigration Minister.
The decision to cancel Djokovic’s visa last week was overturned in the Federal District Court on Monday, but the 44-year-old Morrison government politician still has the final say on whether the world tennis star will be allowed to remain in the country.
“The problem with the delay, as we have been informed, is the complexity of the legal advice,” a journalist explained.
“Alex Hawke has sought legal advice outside his own ministry, but also inside. Externally, there are conflicting tips – ‘can you get rid of it? no you can not ‘. “Internally, in his own department, the advice is also ambiguous, so it is not an easy job for the Minister of Immigration.”
An Australian government source, citing local site The Age, said Hawk was still considering the matter, but no announcements were expected tonight. “The minister is still examining all the details of the case,” said an Immigration official.
Earlier, the draw for the tournament took place with a short delay and Djokovic was drawn with his Serbian compatriot Miomir Kesmanovic.
However, Stefanos Tsitsipas seemed to leave points against Novak Djokovic, speaking on the English-language channel wion. “It seems that not everyone plays by the rules,” Tsitsipas said characteristically for the Australian Open.
