Rome, 10 January 2022 – Djokovic won even before playing. The Federal Court of Australia overturned the Commonwealth’s decision to cancel the Serbian tennis player’s visa.

Djokovic, Australian government: “He cannot enter the country. He is not vaccinated”
Djokovic, the lawyers: “This is why it is exempt from the Covid vaccine“
The Australian government has recognized of not having given Djokovic enough time to produce sufficient evidence, after informing him of the intention to cancel his visa. Despite this, the Minister of Immigration, Alex Hawke, can now intervene personally and still decide to cancel the visa for other reasons, explains the Guardian. If that happens, the case could go back to court again as Djokovic would risk being banned from Australia for three years if the minister decides to cancel his visa again.
