Djokovic’s brother, who has been speaking to Serbian TV said, “Night without sleep for our whole family, really rough moments. Novak has shown that he is persistent and that he believes in his ideals. He won this fight for the whole world.”
The judge had made a ruling based on facts, but the Immigration Minister is above the court. Novak is in a political whirlwind – the people in Australia are unhappy since they have been locked down basically since the pandemic started.
It's definitely politics. What we can do is to let this be known all over social media – they want to capture and lock up Novak again.

The 34-year-old Serbian arrived in Australia last week hoping to defend his Australian Open title. Instead, Djokovic’s visa was revoked and he was moved to a detention facility. He has been kept at the Park Hotel.
At the hearing today, Novak Djokovic was released from detention after the court overruled his visa cancellation. However, there’s a lot of assumptions about whether Djokovic will be detained again, and thus have his visa canceled for another time. The final decision rests on Australian immigration minister, Alex Hawke, on whether to cancel the tennis superstar’s visa.
