On the morning of Saturday 15 in January in Melbourne, Australia, the immigration authorities of that country made the arrest of the tennis player Novak Djokovic . This measure was part of the agreement they had after the cancellation of his visa for the second time.
Djokovic, number 1 tennis player in the world, had his visa canceled in Australia again for reasons put forward by Alex Hawke, Immigration Minister: “I exercised my power to cancel Mr. Novak Djokovic’s visa for reasons of health and good order, on the grounds that it was in the public interest to do so.”
Djokovic’s lawyers appealed the sentence and await a new hearing to decide whether to return his visa so that he can stay to compete in the Australian Open, or on the contrary uphold the decision and expel him from those lands.
Djokovic will meet with his lawyers this Saturday under the supervision of two customs agents. According to judicial sources, it would be at 10: 15 Melbourne hours. Judge Anthony Kelly of the Federal Circuit Court, reported that the case will be transferred to the Federal Court of Australia, higher instance.
This long and tedious process for both parties will be resolved before the start of the first tennis open of the year 2022, which will be played between 17 and 30 in January. Djokovic owns 20 Grand Slams and bids to compete and win his number in Australia 21 to beat Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer.
