A PCR test with different results, travel discrepancies and Tennis Australia bending its rules are all issues that have surfaced since the Serb landed in Melbourne

In the eyes of their medical panels – although not the Australian government’s – that made him eligible for a medical exemption, which meant Djokovic did not have to quarantine for 14 days after arriving in Australia.
