Nole, who was awaiting a court decision in a refugee hotel: “My son is in Australian captivity tonight, but he has never been freer. From this moment Novak became a symbol and leader of the free world, the world of poor and oppressed countries and peoples,” he told the site Telegraph”.

In another of his controversial metaphors, he even compared the situation of his son -not vaccinated against the coronavirus- in Australia with religious personalities: “Jesus was crucified on the cross, and everything was done to him, but he is alive among us even now . Now Novak is being crucified, they are doing everything to him. But he will resist.”

In addition to the brief and forceful message issued by his father, the tennis player also spoke out when he learned of the Australian government’s decision. Far from being charged with such a marked double meaning, in his statements the tennis player limited himself to acknowledging and respecting the Court’s ruling despite being “extremely disappointed”.
