The Australian officials canceled the visa of World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison earlier said that Djokovic needs to provide ‘sufficient evidence’ for the medical exemption given.
Right after Djokovic’s father, Srdjan Djokovic gained this knowledge he said, “I have no idea what is going on. They have been holding my son captive for five hours. If they don’t let him go in half an hour, we will gather on the street. This is a fight for everyone.”
