Could he argue his way to the Open?

The world number one men's tennis player will spend this weekend stewing in a hotel room in Australia, fighting the country's attempt to deport him over his vaccination status.

Of course, the game. Online SLOTXO must be developed as well. Therefore, friends will see that there are many new slot games.

Then on Monday, Novak Djokovic will get his day in court to challenge the cancellation of his visa. He wants to get into the country to play in the Australian Open and win his 10th title.

How will he argue his case and how strong are his prospects? Will he be able to make it to the Grand Slam at all, let alone on time?


What's Djokovic's situation?
The Serbian player was granted a visa to enter Australia on proviso, to play in the Grand Slam.

Because Australia still has Covid rules banning most foreigners from entering the country, Djokovic applied for a "temporary activity" visa, which allows foreigners in for major events. Most of the players competing in the tournament are entering on this visa.

Australia's pandemic border rules also ban foreigners from entering the country if they are not either double vaccinated or have a medical exemption from having the jabs.

Djokovic, who has said he is opposed to vaccination, had been granted by tennis authorities a medical exemption to play in the tournament, endorsed by the Victorian state government - which his lawyers say was on the basis that he had a bout of Covid confirmed by a PCR test on 16 December.


What will Djokovic argue?
The player's team immediately challenged the decision and on Thursday he was granted a temporary injunction to stave off being forcibly flown out that night.

In court documents released on Saturday, Djokovic's lawyers say the tennis star had every reason to believe he was entitled to travel to Australia and play in the tournament - and alongside his visa he had a document from the Department of Home Affairs saying his travel declaration had been assessed and he met the requirements for quarantine-free arrival.

The legal documents outline a complicated series of arguments that make reference to laws like the Biosecurity Act and the Migration Act governing arrivals into Australia.
