Djokovic stops his deportation from Australia until Monday: Serbian’s lawyers won court order

Novak Djokovic He will not be forced to leave Australia before next Monday, the date on which his deportation to Serbia will be resolved. This thanks to a quick reaction from his lawyers, after the revocation of his visa for not meeting the vaccination requirements against COVID-19 to enter the country.

The defense of the number 1 tennis player obtained a provisional court order to stop the deportation at least until 4:00 pm (local time) on January 10. This is how it seeks to avoid the departure of ‘Nole’ from Australian territory in the days prior to the start of the Australian Open.

Djokovic He will continue in the immigration detention center that houses the Park Hotel in Carlton, in Melbourne, where he has already spent two nights after being blocked from entering Australia.

The Serbian for now is out of the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the 2022 season, which begins on January 17.

Uncomfortable stay

Ten days before the start of the Australian Open, in which Djokovic has won nine titles, including the last three editions, the Serbian tennis player is living a nightmare. He was to spend a second night on Thursday in a meager room at the Park Hotel in Melbourne, used by the Australian government to detain people in an irregular situation.

The tennis player has not wanted to communicate if he is vaccinated against COVID-19, and was taken there after the cancellation of his visa.

Number one awaits the end of his legal battle to continue in the Australian territory in this disreputable hotel. A fire broke out there in December, forcing their evacuation. Retained people complained on social media, relying on photos, of finding worms and molds in food. And in October, 21 people contracted Covid-19 there.
