Serb hoped to win the Australian Open for the tenth time in Melbourne

–

AMSTERDAM – The vaccination soap surrounding Novak Djokovic has taken a bizarre turn. The 34-year-old Serb, who would be allowed to participate in the Australian Open with a medical exception, was detained for hours at the airport in Melbourne on Wednesday in the Australian night, because his visa was not in order. In the end, his visa was revoked and he had to leave Australia, because he could not explain sufficiently why he should be given an exceptional position.
