A car leaving Novak Djokovic’s lawyer’s office was surrounded by fans chanting ‘free Nole’ – the tennis star’s nickname – although it has not been confirmed that the world No 1 was inside the car.
Djokovic won a court battle Monday to stay in Australia to contest the Australian Open, but thethe immigration minister Alex Hawke could still decide to use a personal power to deport the Serb.
This comes after Federal circuit court judge Anthony Kelly reinstated Djokovic’s visa, which was canceled after his arrival last week because officials decided he didn’t meet the criteria for an exemption to an entry requirement that all non-citizens be fully vaccinated.
