Novak Djokovic left a hotel for asylum seekers on Sunday morning headed for a federal court hearing that will decide once and for all whether he can stay in Australia and defend his Open title.

Djokovic was driven out of the hotel, accompanied by Australian immigration officers about 8:30 a.m. local time.

Djokovic spent Saturday night at Melbourne’s Park Hotel, returning to the same immigration detention hotel where he was held for four nights last week. The virtual hearing on Sunday is expected to pit lawyers for Djokovic and the government against each other in an argument over the number one tennis player’s role in fanning anti-vaccine sentiment.Court documents released after an initial court hearing on Saturday showed Hawke had justified his decision on the grounds that Djokovic’s presence could whip up more anti-vaccination sentiment in Australia at a time that the country is in the midst of its worst outbreak of the virus.

Djokovic’s medical exemption from vaccine requirements to play in the Open prompted widespread anger in Australia, which has undergone some the world’s toughest COVID-19 lockdowns and where more than 90% of adults are vaccinated, but where hospitalisation rates continue to hit record highs. Djokovic’s leading rivals have become increasingly impatient with the uncertainty hanging over the draw and the cloud hanging over their sport.

The minister in Australia rejected several court decisions in this matter and no report in our captured racist-bias-corrupt oriented media reported on judicial abuse in Australia. In SA the same quarks will rail against Sisulu for an opinion piece. We have a problem in SA.
