Tennis News : Last Act of Djokovic's Torture- Belgrade media gets behind their man

Belgrade residents on Saturday commented on the the latest twist  in the ongoing saga over whether Novak Djokovic will be allowed to compete in the Australian Open despite being unvaccinated for COVID-19.

Djokovic faces deportation again after the Australian government revoked his visa for a second time on Friday.

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said he canceled the 34-year-old Serb's visa on public interest grounds - just three days before play begins at the Australian Open, where Djokovic has won a record nine of his 20 Grand Slam titles.

Djokovic's lawyers were expected to appeal at the Federal Circuit and Family Court, which they successfully did last week on procedural grounds after his visa was first canceled when he landed at a Melbourne airport.

Deportation from Australia usually leads to a three-year ban on returning to the country. That would make Djokovic 37 the next time he would be allowed to compete at the Australian Open.
