Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he had spoken to Djokovic after the court decision. "I told him he is always welcome in Serbia," Vucic told reporters.The Serbian Tennis Association said the "farce is over" and "politics has beaten sports" with Australia's decision to deport Djokovic, who has won the Australian Open nine times.

Great, now all the anti-vax know where to go for vacation!!!! 🤣

I guess he doesn’t get to decide on how Australia runs there country. What about the other Serbian tennis player that was allowed into the country because he was vaccinated? Doesn’t seem political to me.

Doesn't Serbia have a vaxx entry policy too?

COVID19 COVID CoronaVirus Pandemic StayAtHome StayHome StayAtHomeSaveLives CovidVaccine vaccination VaccinesWork facemasks Masks WearADamnMask

So they don’t want him back either? Justice served an ace!

Scandalous? Umm no..what's scandalous is lying on a visa , flouting covid rules and trying to 3nter a country where you know vax is required. Djoker isn't above the law DjokovicOut

rules are for everyone, no matter who you are or how big you THINK you are

Oops.

The world is disappointed that Novak thought he didn't need to follow the rules because he's rich and famous.

Follow the rules and get vaccinated

Piss on communist Australia He should never return he doesn't need them

Cry about it

Rules apply to all!!!!!

Alek, you shouldn’t have sent your guy flying into Australia on a lie and a prayer he didn’t get caught breaking the rules everyone else had to keep and did. I guess maybe the Serbian Prez and his tennis dude are the scandal, but..

Scandalous? Scandalous is Djokovic’s refusal to abide by *any* Covid rules including Serbia’s where he exposed Serbian *children* and a journalist to Covid after testing positive.

lol should we remind them of their little stunt in the 90's.... that was scandalous

These globalist politicians are criminals and should be arrested. The journalists also should be held accountable for their evil acts of pushing the COVID narrative.

Hahah

If he can become president than anyone can🤔

Nah, he lied in his visa. Plain and simple. Not to mention there is additional evidence that the day after testing positive he went to a children’s event. Sociopath behavior.

AU you are SUCH an embarrassment. You are EXACTLY why we all love our 2A. You can't do that to people that are armed.

Too bad. So sad. The rest of the Open players respected the border requirement. 100%, now that this self-proclaimed exception has been deported.

Not Taking Vaccine Is Personal Choice But Not Allowed To Participate Unvaccinated Player Is Politically Motivated Step!!! Every Country Has Their Own COVID19 Guidelines...Everybody Should Follow It Responsibly Without Any Hesitation...

J ai honte pour les sponsors comme Lacoste ou Peugeot

He can always compete in the Serbian Open.

So let him play in the Mickey Mouse tournaments in Serbia

And where is your hero en route to? Dubai. Then most likely Monte Carlo to his tax-free heaven. Lol

According to this Ruling Novak Djokovic is a Vaccine Terrorist who Incites People not to get Vaccinated,this was never about the Visa this was about keeping the Australian People under Control the sad thing is some Australians were cheering the Result

The unvaccinated need to be left out of everything

Great. Let him stay there unvaccinated 🤬

I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to play in Serbia. Maybe next time he’ll follow the rules, drop his elitist entitled ego, and get to play where he actually wants to play.

Disgusting. He is a matyr for freedom now.

tsc tsc

Mate you gotta be serious! He broke rules in your own country! Seems like you don't wanna give a damn about it! But anyway if you've an issue then please grab a tissue...

yes, stay in your Homeland, and stop being liar 🤥

Where no one wants to go😁

Great. His refusal to play by the rules has restricted his freedom to a tiny area of land

Novak Djokovic Deported on Eve of Australian Open After Court RulingNovak Djokovic was deported from Australia after a court upheld a decision to cancel his visa, ending the tennis star’s bid to defend his Australian Open title 👏👏👏 Novak is the reason he couldn't play tennis. He failed to follow the rules and paid the price. The NoVax Joke has left the building. Glad he was subject to the same rules as everyone else.
