We are already holding the first sports-diplomatico-sanitary soap opera of the year 2022. Originally, everything was simple: Novak Djokovic was to play the Australian Open, from January 17 to 30, to try to win a 10th title in Melbourne, and thus become the first man to hold 21 Majors.
But the medical exemption obtained by the Serbian in a country that does not mess with the vaccination against the Covid-19 took the sporting epic to a whole new dimension. After an administrative error in his visa application, Djoko found himself stranded at Melbourne airport, and is trying this Thursday to fight in the judicial field against a scheduled deportation.
