The case was a mess. Last January, Novak Djokovic traveled to Australia to compete in the prestigious Grand Slam tournament. Unvaccinated against Covid-19, world number 1 had initially enjoyed an exemption from the contest organizers. But the Australian government has shown complete intransigence as foreign travelers have to get vaccinated to travel to the country. The case has grown to enormous proportions since Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke decided to revoke the Serbian champion’s visa. The latter was later deported from Australia, thus preventing him from defending his title.
Novak Djokovic, who was invited to the terrace of Roland Garros in France 2 by Laurent Luyat on Friday 27 May, returned to this misfortune that deeply affected him. “There was a lot of tension in those ten days in Australia, a lot of things from sports. I was watching TV in Australia and I was thinking, ‘I’m really the number one unwanted person in this country.’ I really don’t understand why”, he muttered. And to add: “I was very touched when I left because you have to stay calm and mentally strong during this period because maybe you will have the opportunity to play. So it was a very difficult situation.”“.
