MELBOURNE, Jan 8 — Australian border agents held tennis superstar Novak Djokovic for eight hours at Melbourne airport, mostly incommunicado, before cancelling his visa and sending him to a detention centre, his lawyers said today.
The federation reported in a statement that Djokovic had handed over cups and prizes to the best young players in 2021 at a pandemic restricted event. Foreigners are still mostly banned from travel to Australia, and those granted entry must be fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption. “There is a lot... of blaming going on but I can assure you our team has done an unbelievable job,” he said in a video published by the Sunday Herald Sun newspaper.
Djokovic, an outspoken vaccine sceptic, thanked fans for their support on Instagram: “Thank you to people around the world for your continuous support. I can feel it and it is greatly appreciated.”
