Tennis Australia, on the other hand, confirmed that Djokovic was granted medical exemption after reviewing two separate independent panels, but problems arose when Djokovic arrived in Melbourne from Dubai on Wednesday. According to the news agency Reuters, Novak Djokovic was taken from a government detention hotel in Melbourne. Where he is waiting for the flight going back.

According to local reports after the recent incident, Djokovic can now take the route of legal appeal or apply for a new visa so that he can enter the country. The same Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt has justified the treatment of Djokovic as "harsh" but "right". He said that "Australia has one rule for everyone".

The Australian Open is to begin in Melbourne on January 17. Djokovic has previously won this tournament nine times.
