friend, and you re right, it s a lot on the line for novak djokovic. he is hoping to be the first person in the world to win 21 grand slams. that s a huge record, and he s chasing it, and he wants to be here and to win it here. but you re also right that he is not vaccinated, so that s where this whole thing began with the federal government, and it was all playing out in court here today in melbourne. and a federal circuit court judge here was not very sympathetic to the government. he basically said that djokovic fulfilled what he needed to for the medical exemption, but it was quite a narrow ruling, andrea, in the sense that what he really seemed to take exception with was the fact that djokovic didn t have time from the border officials to get the answers that he wanted from tennis australia and from his lawyers. so again, we have a tweet from just a short time ago from novak
very best players, but he felt it has not been handled well, because djokovic didn t realise how unpopular this decision would be. yes, he may have thought he had a medical exemption to avoid having the vaccine, but in reality, australia only once in their country if you are fully vaccinated.- if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for your if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for your time i if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for your time in i fuller, thanks for your time in melbourne this morning. i think we are hoping to get a decision within the hour. they set 5:45pm melbourne time, so we will keep a crosscut. and we will obviously let you know as soon as a decision is made. now, roger, you ll be happy to know we re going to talk about the cricket. in the ashes, england s bowlers have impressed today, particualrly mark wood
on the 18th, french newspaper l equipe reports it did a photoshoot with djokovic in belgrade. and as bbc reality check reports: djokovic was tested in serbia where you are required to isolate for 14 days following a positive test. djokovic didn t do that. nor has he addressed why not. and remember when his family were asked. ok, so, this press conference is adjourned at the moment. in the middle of all of this, we don t know if djokovic is planning on missing the australian open if he didn t get covid in december. while we pour over these unknowns, the judges ruling on monday left the australian government with a choice. let him stay, despite not appearing to meet rules that australians have to meet rules that australians have to follow or deport them world s tennis number one, barring him from the country for years after he appears to have done what was asked of him.
