Novak Djokovic: Judge raises concerns over tennis star’s treatment by border officers
Anthony Kelly is presiding over the tennis star’s challenge to the cancellation of his Australian visa….
The judge hearing Novak Djokovic’s challenge to an order by the Australian government revoking his entry visa has raised concerns over his treatment.
Judge Anthony Kelly said it seemed the tennis star had obtained the necessary exemption to travel restrictions prior to his arrival in the country.
He asked government lawyers what more Djokovic could have done.
The 34-year-old Serbian player flew into Melbourne last week, hoping to defend his Australian Open title.
The trial began on Monday morning after delays caused by technical issues with a live stream of proceedings.
Lawyers for Djokovic have been arguing that the 20-time Grand Slam winner entered the country on the understanding that his exemption from restrictions requiring travellers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 was valid.
