Djokovic: ‘There are positive signs for my return to Australia, I’ve overcome what happened’
Novak Djokovic has said in his country’s media that contacts between his lawyers and the Australian authorities show positive signs that his three-year travel ban will be lifted based on today’s events.
Novak Djokovic spoke to the Serbian sport in which he mentioned, among other things, the possibility of competing in Australia despite his three-year entry ban in force. It is recalled that Djokovic had no right to enter the oceanic country due to his vaccination status.
Among other things, the Serbian tennis player emphasized that his lawyers are in talks with the relevant authorities about the possibility of overturning this decision and that he has received positive signals so far. He emphasizes that although it took some time, he got over what happened and now he is motivated to play at the Australian Open.
What Novak Djokovic said in detail: On the possibility of competing in Australia: “There are some positive signs as far as Australia is concerned, but still unofficially. I have contacted my lawyers in Australia and they are in contact with the authorities regarding my case.
I hope to get an answer, whatever it is, in the next few weeks. Of course I prefer to be positive, but I want it to be soon so that I have enough time to prepare for the start of the season if it takes place in Australia“.
Whether he wants to play at the Australian Open: “I want to go there, although the situation for this possible exit is completely different than this year. But I got through everything that happened and I really want to play tennis.
I know best. Australia has always been the country where I play my best tennis and it shows in the results, so I always have an extra motivation to go there. This time I am even more motivated and hope for a positive answer“.
