Novak Djokovic had a shaky unfavorable year after the controversial vaccination setback. But he has turned the tables around to a favorable extent. The Tel Aviv triumph propelled him to seventh place in the world rankings. And he is in a strong position to qualify for the ATP finals.

However, things look a little different after the recent development. After his win in Israel, the Serb had a good chance of making it to the ATP finals. But in one of the interviews, the Australian shadow Home Affairs Minister puts a full stop to 35 -year -old’s comeback dreams.    

Australian minister puts a lid on Novak Djokovic’s chances

In a recent interview, Australian shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews gave a statement on Djokovic’s Visa overturn. She believed it would be unfair if the Australian government overturned the Serb’s Visa ban. And let him participate in the next year’s Australian Open. “It shouldn’t be one rule for Novak Djokovic and a different rule for everyone else who is not worth millions.” said the Australian minister.

She further stressed on repercussions by saying, “So if immigration now chooses to make a special allowance for Novak Djokovic, the obvious question is, what are they going to do about anyone else who may be in similar circumstances? It would be a slap in the face for those people in Australia who did the right thing”
