- Navratilova: ‘I just wish Novak had taken that vaccination’
- Rafael Nadal says ‘justice has spoken’ and wishes his rival luck
Martina Navratilova responded to Novak Djokovic’s release from immigration detention on Monday by saying the “unbelievable” chain of events could have been avoided if he had simply been vaccinated while Rafael Nadal branded the situation “a circus”.
A judge ordered Djokovic’s visa cancellation be quashed after determining unreasonableness in the way that the Australian Border Force had conducted its procedures during the world No 1’s entry interview at Tullamarine airport last week. However, Djokovic could still be denied the right to defend his Australian Open title next week if the immigration minister, Alex Hawke, cancels his visa again.
