Novak Djokovic might not make it to the 2022 Australian Open after all.
According to The Times of London, the world No. 1 tennis player was stopped at border control upon entry to Australia due to a reported visa mix-up.
A member of Djokovic’s team reportedly requested a type of visa that does not apply to individual(s) who have been granted a medical exemption from the COVID vaccines.

When I read the story yesterday, I expected there to be some hiccup or double-cross. Here we go ...
They don’t even allow their own citizens much travel, but they are still going to hold s tennis tournament for privileged athletes? Many from outside the country.
So he’s privileged to play tennis down under? Ask his manager who spent all the money to get there with hotel reservation and then turned away at customs!
We have turned the world over to the Covid petty bureaucracy, the new SS.
You papers are not in ordnung.
Perhaps that's the problem. The simplest explanation for the facts is that the Ozzies would rather a foreigner not win the Australian open.
As they say in Casablanca, "Round up the usual suspects." One of them happens to be the world's #1 tennis player.
he has quite a temper. he will probably tell them off.
Actually they probably want him to. If he wins it he sets the new record for Major wins. They gave him an exemption but his people filed the wrong paperwork. Bad on his people I say. You got 1 job.
I for one, was not a big fan of his, but now I surely am.

Ok, I was kind of saying that in a leftist warped tone, which rings hollow former and more of us each day. I’m sure Djokovic isn’t hurting for money. But still what is the point of hosting an international tournament which locking down your citizens and acting like the sky is falling.
No, but why allow a bunch of foreigners in white locking down your own citizens? Sounds kind of bizarre, don’t ya think?
They weren’t djoking...
This is not a mix-up. It’s Daniel Andrews in action.
Agreed! Basically they need him more than he needs them! I would have told them all to piss off from the get go...I mean...24 hours on a airplane...even in First Class is too much!
Boycott....worldwide!
As he should, temper or not
