Novak Djokovic wants to take part in the Australian Open 2023 – critical voices in politics are increasing

Because the 35-year-old is still a vehement opponent of the corona vaccination. That’s why Djokovic couldn’t take part in the US Open.

The current opposition politician has something against “if Novak Djokovic is suddenly allowed back into the country just because he is a high-ranking tennis player with many millions of dollars”.

Andrews added: “I don’t think there’s any reason to overturn the rule just because someone has a lot of money. There shouldn’t be one rule for Novak Djokovic and another rule for everyone else.”

Actually, Djokovic should not travel to Australia for three years after his visa was canceled in January. However, the current government is considering overturning this penalty.

Possible Djokovic visa is hotly debated

Although unvaccinated people are now allowed to enter Australia without an exceptional visa, Andrews is not alone in her criticism. Former Minister of Tourism Dan Tehan told Sky News Australia: “As a tennis fan, I would love to see him there. But the most important thing is that we protect the integrity of our entry system.”

“The rules for entering Australia have changed, you don’t have to be vaccinated anymore. If they decide he can come, they have to make that decision in a way that preserves the integrity of our entry system,” Tehan demanded.

Djokovic has won the Australian Open nine times. This makes the so-called Happy Slam the most successful Grand Slam tournament for the Serbs.
