Novaxx Djokovic: Unjabbed Tennis Champ Threatened With Deportation from Australia

The men’s tennis number one Novak Djokovic has been threatened with deportation back to Serbia after his visa was rejected by Australian officials amid a mix-up with his application. There’s also the small fact that he is unvaccinated and claimed to be exempt from Australia’s rules about unvaccinated visitors, as well as the rule that only vaccinated players can compete in the Australian Open. MailOnline has more.

The No. 1 tennis star, who was left stranded at Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport overnight, has been denied entry into Australia after initially being granted a medical exemption for the country’s COVID-19 vaccination requirements so that he could play in the Australian Open.

The 34 year-old was issued a letter by the Australian Government saying his visa had been denied and he would be deported, a source close to the tournament said tonight.

Australia’s Health Minister Greg Hunt confirmed today that Djokovic’s visa had been cancelled, and Border Force issued a statement to that effect.

“The Australian Border Force will continue to ensure that those who arrive at our border comply with our laws and entry requirements,” a statement read.

“The ABF can confirm that Mr Djokovic failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet the entry requirements to Australia, and his visa has been subsequently cancelled.

“Non-citizens who do not hold a valid visa on entry or who have had their visa cancelled will be detained and removed from Australia. The ABF can confirm Mr Djokovic had access to his phone.​”

Djokovic’s lawyers are now gearing up to fight the visa cancellation in court, though it is not clear if the star player will stay in Australia during the case.

Meanwhile, Serbian President Aleksanda Vucic said on Instagram that he has spoken to Djokovic and added that Serbian authorities are taking measures “so the harassment of the best tennis player in the world be stopped in the shortest possible time”.

The tennis star will now be moved to a hotel in Melbourne under police guard until a deportation flight back to Serbia can be arranged.

Djokovik, who landed in Melbourne on an Emirates flight from Dubai at around 11.15pm, was initially placed in isolation after officials discovered his team had bungled his visa application to play in the Australian Open without being vaccinated.

It came just hours after Prime Minister Scott Morrison threatened to send the Serb back “on the next plane home” if he could not provide evidence for his vaccine exemption.

Worth reading in full.

Looks like it’s 30-15 to the Covid hysterics. But Djoko is a fighter so the game isn’t over.

I like Djokovic – even before this. He should do the strong thing and say that he will never play Australia again, deny them the greatest player of all time and undervalue their tournament. Ali became possibly the greatest sportsman ever without even being the best ever in his sport partly because he sacrificed personal glory for his principles. Djok is the greatest ever in his sport, but could move to another level altogether if he helps lead the collapse of the global Pfizer Pfascist junta.

I must admit to feeling conflicted about this. The Australian government has clearly lost its collective mind, and many other governments are not far behind them, with vaccines mandates and other insane diktats. Djokovic has chosen not to reveal his vaccination status and appears not to be vaccinated, but has somehow managed to qualify for special treatment. Except that he hasn’t, apparently. The fact that he may be the best tennis player in the world, or not is irrelevant. We already know that the Australian government are unprincipled assholes, and have mislaid their moral compass. I hope Djokovic has a firm grip on his.

History will elevate Djokovic to a status that goes beyond just being the best tennis player ever.

Sometimes good actions take time to pay off, but eventually they do.

Just like Tommie Smith and John Carlos were first reviled in Mexico in 1968 but were eventually elevated to icons and IOC president Avery Brundage went down as the bigoted little man he was, Djokovic will be go down as an icon and those nasty little Australian bureaucrats and Prime Minister will be condemned to the dustheap of history.

He’s been thrown out of Oz, this is a line in the sand they shouldn’t have crossed. Both rabid arseholes on tonight’s Sky News Paper Review are attacking Djokovic for his actions.
In my view, he is a hero now. Let these morons hang themselves. When we’re all banned from public life, all banned from work, all turned against and made to feel marginalised and yet still they all catch Covid after 3,4,5,6 and x jabs, who are they going to blame then?

I applaud Novak massively for his stance. We all stand together against this idiotic groupthink and we must turn on the idiots that lament us.

Of course, we all know that such moral fortitude rarely exists in this age of fast dollars and needy adulation. What a great victory it would be if the tournament were to be cancelled, but I won’t be holding my breath.

Actually, the odds of a politically manufactured false positive test putting him into Australian hospital with “covid” are pretty high. They want to make an example of him one way or another. I would be careful if I was in his shoes – recall what happened to a certain Mr. Navalny.

Wonder if they have found someone with a positive test to spit on his food? (Which would, of course, be absolutely beyond DISGUSTING, but these are the kind of tactics these people would use in the propaganda war that this is). Make no mistake – I absolutely abhor what has happened to Nolo and how he is being treated. No one should be treated this way because they refuse to reveal their medical status. Sadly for him, Nolo is now being treated like all the other little people embroiled in this human rights steal, not like a member of the elite. I hope it is making him rethink his original decision to accept the exemption and try to enter Australia to play the tournament. I think that it has played badly for him. He could have used his massive influence all around the world to put not just Australia but the whole plandemic under a very unpleasant spotlight and he has squandered that. Someone yesterday made the pithy point to me in response to this argument that ‘you cannot elect someone to a position they didn’t choose to stand for’. In response I quote back the words of Nolo’s own… Read more »

If you win a Tournament, but you didn’t beat the best player, does anyone really care that you won (or even played)?

I hope he really digs in on this topic and makes loads of noise – he’s earning my respect beyond his tennis ability.

I’m sure many will villify, but he’s not going to go down quietly and I’m sure many will be fascintated.

Wasn’t the Australian tennis tournament once referred to as “the Open”? Seemingly no longer.

Henceforth, we shall have to call it the “Australian Compliance cup” – part of the grand sl(h)am series

Could see this one coming from a mile off and shows how disingenuous the Australian authorities have been.

A lot being made on here about Djokovic’s nobility. But surely the more noble course would have been to boycott and hence devalue the tournament, and even speak out about the reasons why he is (evidently) unvaccinated?
