The World No. 1 arrived in Melbourne on 6 January with an “exemption permission,” but was detained at the airport and his visa revoked. He won a court case on 10 January to quash the initial ruling for his travel visa to be canceled by the Australian Border Force (ABF).
But Djokovic was forced to leave Australia after Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision to revoke his visa for a second time, on “health and good order” grounds, was upheld in court on Sunday. The 34-year-old arrived in Belgrade on Monday following his deportation.
Speaking to Channel Nine’s Wide World of Sport, Courier declared he expects more information on Djokovic’s situation to come to light and questioned how the Serb’s paperwork was approved at Dubai airport.
The American then asserted that none of the parties involved in the fiasco have benefitted from it.
“I hated the exemption that Novak Djokovic had” - Darren Cahill
Respected tennis coach and former player Darren Cahill also gave his thoughts on the Novak Djokovic saga to Channel Nine’s Wide World of Sport. The Australian criticized the fact the 20-time Major winner received an exemption intended to be for those who wanted to have a COVID-19 vaccine, but could not.
Cahill, who has coached Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt and Simona Halep, is currently working with 20-year-old American Amanda Anisimova. Since adding Cahill to her team, Anisimova has won the WTA Melbourne Summer Set 2 title and reached the third round of the Australian Open, where she will face defending champion Naomi Osaka.
