Pressure mounts on Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke in ‘Djokovic case’. While continuing to deliberate whether to revoke the Serbian’s visa again, a survey conducted by NewsCorp for Australian media Herald Sun y The Daily Telegraph, shows data that leaves no room for doubt: 83% of Australians surveyed want Nole to be deported.

It has been a week since Australia decided to withdraw the visa for the first time Novak Djokovic, which prevented his participation in the Australian Open. After four days held in a Melbourne hotel, the Judge Anthony Kelly reversed the government decision and agreed with the Serbian tennis player, which has been awaiting the decision of the Minister of Immigration ever since.

Novak Djokovic is being investigated by the Australian authorities for irregularities in his declaration to be able to enter the country and for the positive PCR of December 16 that he presented and how much has been talked about because they were out of the deadline -they were admitted until the 10th- and because the 17th and 18th attended public events in which he did not wear a mask or keep his distance when in fact he should be quarantining at home.

Expensive “human errors”

The number 1 in the world yesterday admitted “human error” in his travel documentation Y then he mea culpa by not canceling on December 18 the interview he had with the French sports newspaper L’Equipe.

In addition, the Serbian tennis player has raised suspicions with the QR of the report of his positive for COVID. As both Der Spiegel and New York Times reporter Ben Rothenberg have published, scanning the QR of the report at first led to a negative result. Something that later changed suspiciously and only the positive result appears.

Regarding his customs declaration, where he stated that in the last 14 days he had not traveled to a third country despite the fact that before traveling from Spain he had been in Belgrade, he assured that your agent made a “human error” when filling in the travel box performed by the athlete in the 14 days prior to his arrival in the oceanic country.

Meanwhile, Djokovic continues training in Melbourne awaiting the decision of the Minister of Immigration about a new possible cancellation of his visa and, therefore, his deportation or if, on the contrary, he can continue in the country and play the Australian Open where he would seek his 10th windup in the Australian city.

If in the end Djokovic is deported, the problem is not that he cannot defend the title in the first Grand Slam of the year but that he could assume that expelled from Australia for three years.
