A new development regarding Novak Djokovic and his participation in the Australian Open, after it was found that there is a problem with the type of his visa.

The Serbian tennis player got the green light to play in Melbourne, securing a medical exemption from the tournament organizers, despite the fact that he has not been vaccinated.

His behavior caused an “explosion” in Australia, with the Prime Minister Scott Morrison stating that the famous tennis player would…get on the next plane, if he could not prove that it was medically necessary not to be vaccinated.

However, as it turned out, Djokovic did not have the proper entry permit: his team’s visa does not allow medical exemptions for those who have not been vaccinated.
