The Australian Open and a harsh punishment for Djokovic’s cheaters
It is impossible for Australia to forget the scandal that led to last year Novak Djokovic by pretending to exit the Grand Slam without being vaccinated against covid-19. He was caught and deported without his decision being reviewed, so welcoming him back into this year’s tournament will have a very special flavor. In this context, the organizers estimate that a public sector is eager to fail it and prepare a strong hand to avoid any bad drink.

And he qualified without retracting the threat: “What I’ve always liked about Melbourne is that the public really like sport and performance, more than anywhere else in Australia in my opinion. I hope people consider it.”.
