We have finally gained new insight into everything that happened at the 2022 Australian Open and what it was actually like. Novak Đoković made one major mistake before his flight.
He posted a photo showing that he was flying to Australia, and during the 24 hours it took him to reach Melbourne, politicians realized that this would be the easiest way to score political points with people who had spent the longest time in lockdown since the beginning of the pandemic.
Because of this, Đoković became a classic scapegoat.
“When I arrived, I already saw several police officers coming out of the immigration area and looking at me. I immediately started feeling that something was not right. They asked me to go with them. They took me to the immigration area, where I stayed from 11 p.m. until 9 in the morning. They took my phone, everything,” Đoković said.
He has no doubt that politics was behind it all.
“Australia had one of the strictest lockdowns. They did not want someone with my profile, who was well-known in that country and whom everyone knew was unvaccinated, to come there and stay for a month. I later found out that two other people, one player and one coach, entered Australia on the basis of the same medical exemption that I had.
Everything was politically motivated. It had nothing to do with medicine. It had nothing to do with anything else. It was exclusively politically motivated.”
He also had to distance himself from the anti-vaccination movement, which had somehow started claiming him as one of its own.
“I never said that I was against vaccines or that I was for vaccines. The anti-vaccination movement declared me their hero, but I never identified myself with any anti-vaccination position. I am for freedom of choice, so that everyone can decide for themselves what they will do with their own body and have the right to bodily integrity,” the Serbian star said.
