Djokovic case: Voracova stopped too

One more chapter in an endless saga. Now in the “Djokovic Gate” to end up in the sights are directly Tennis Australia and Craig Tiley. Through a document obtained by News Corp and published in several Australian newspapers, such as the Herald Sun and Adelaide Now, it was discovered that only at the beginning of December Tennis Australia would send an email both to the ATP and to the players themselves with guidelines to give unvaccinated people a small chance to participate in the Australian Open 2022 (asking, first, for an international medical exemption and, second, for a second exemption from an independent panel). All with a precise clause: if the player in question had been able to prove that he was infected by Covid in the last six months, he would have obtained a valid reason to ask for the exemption. But the document is dated December 7, 2021, and included a link that allowed players to submit their questions by 10, by which time the federal government had already warned the tournament organization that a past infection would not be enough. to ensure entry into the country unvaccinated. In short, an incorrect communication.

Voracova, visa canceled

After all, the absence of a single chain of command in the exchange of information between the federal government, the government of the state of Victoria and Tennis Australia would have been the main reason why Djokovic’s entry into the country has so far been refused. . After the stop at Melbourne airport and the timely action of her lawyers, Nole awaits the outcome of her expected trial for our sunrise between Sunday and Monday: it will be the end of the case. Meanwhile, the Czech tennis player Renata Voracova, who has already played a tournament in Melbourne these days, has been stopped by the Australian authorities for an illegal visa. The 38-year-old doubler was stopped by Australian Border Force officials and was at the Park Hotel in Carlton, the same facility where Djokovic is currently located. Voracova has chosen to leave Australia and not participate in the Grand Slam at the start on January 17th.
