why was visa cancelled
The Australian government revoked Novak Djokovic’s visa for the second time on 14 January, saying world tennis No 1, unvaccinated for COVID-19, could pose a risk to the community. The decision raises the prospect of a second court battle by the Serbian tennis star to be allowed to stay and bid for a record 21st major tennis title at the Australian Open, but time is running out with the tournament starting on January 17. Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke exercised his discretionary powers to revoke Djokovic’s visa after a court overturned the earlier revocation and released him from immigration detention on 10 January.
why is not vaccinated
It was around the time of the banana-bread boom and weekly Zoom quiz, when Novak Djokovic revealed his thoughts on vaccination to the world, a stance that would land him an Australian government detention hotel nearly two years later. Like many of us during the lockdown in early 2020, sports stars were bored and looking for hobbies to pass the time. Lionel Messi takes part in the Toilet Roll Keep-Up Challenge, Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad compete in virtual F1 racing, while Andy Murray and Kim Sears lead the “100-Volley Challenge”. The players were also interacting on social media. In April of that year, Murray spoke to Djokovic on Instagram Live, as did Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, and it provided sports media outlets with some much-needed content while some of the actual games were taking place.
