Why Does Djokovic Not Have an Easy Way Without Vaccination in Australia?
The most successful tennis champion is not having an easy time entering Australia.
In the pandemic crisis, Melbourne is one city worldwide with the most infections since 2020.
Australians see a comparative offense, letting the Serbian play, ignoring the requirements they have to meet to lead a somewhat everyday life.
What seemed to give the green light to the aspirations of winning the Australian Open(AO) and winning a Grand Slam tournament more than Nadal and Federer are still not workable.
Djokovic has not received the vaccine against COVID-19 and has requested a medical exemption to play in AO.
The Victoria government granted him the alleged exemption, but that has caused most tennis players to have criticized such a decision.
Today (in the early morning of Melbourne), Nola was held at the airport for not correctly completing the visa for medical exemptions.
Australians follow their regulations and laws. Djokovic wants special treatment, different from the rest of the players and natives.
Serbian had covid-19 in 2020, the exemption for health reasons, says he should have suffered it six months earlier.
