10:18 am: Novak Djokovic summoned to explain his vaccine exemption under penalty of “leaving by the first plane”
The exemption granted to Novak Djokovic, world number 1, to participate in the Australian Open when he is not vaccinated makes a lot of teeth cringe. Moreover, we recommend that you read the paper of our journalist William Pereira below (at least to admire his talents on Paint). Australian Prime Minister himself, Scott Morrisson, threatened to return the Serbian “by the first plane” if this exemption was not justified while the country is subject to a very strict health policy.
“We are waiting for his presentation and for him to provide us with evidence to support” this waiver, Scott Morrison said at a press conference. “If that evidence is insufficient, then he will not be treated any differently from anyone else, and he will return home on the first plane.” There will be no special rule for Novak Djokovic. Not the least ”, insisted the Prime Minister.
“It would certainly be useful if Novak explained the conditions under which he requested and obtained an exemption,” Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley, also director of the first Grand Slam of the year, also told reporters on Wednesday.
