ICYMI Here's a recap of the very messy NovakDjokovic saga
Novak Djokovic has had his Australian visa cancelled for the second time after months of controversy in the run up to the Australian Open.
Just days ago he was granted release from being held at a hotel after the presiding judge on his case ordered his immediate release from detention. November 2021 On November 18, Djokovic was granted an Australian temporary entry visa for the sole purpose of competing in the Australian Open. On December 16, he took a rapid antigen test, and had a negative result but decided to book a PCR test "out of an abundance of caution," according to his statement.
After the event, Djokovic received a message stating that his PCR test was positive, according to his statement. Days later on December 30, Djokovic received a medical exemption from Tennis Australia allowing him to enter without Covid vaccination or the need to quarantine. Djokovic then left Spain on January 4 and headed for Melbourne where he arrived at around midnight on January 5.
The judge did however point out that Australian Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke, reserved the right to deport Djokovic at any time. However, just this morning, January 14, the Australian government cancelled Djokovic's visa for the second time.
