With or without Djokovic, the Australian Open begins

With the “Djokovic case” keeping the world of tennis on edge, the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year, begins this Monday in the Oceanian country where the local authorities defined at the close of this edition whether the Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic would be deported or would remain in Australia to play the tournament.

The Federal Court of Australia began an urgent hearing on Sunday morning to study whether or not to accept Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic’s appeal against his expulsion from the country for not being vaccinated.

The Serbian tennis player is registered in the tournament and must face his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic tomorrow. In case of doing so, Nole will seek to win the first major of the year and with it be the most winner in history with 21.

In the absence of the Swiss Roger Federer, the other who has 20 greats is the Spanish Rafael Nadal, who will also debut on the first day against the American Marcos Giron.

Nadal has won the Australian Open only once (2009), but has appeared in four other finals (2012, 2014, 2017 and 2019).

In any case, with or without Djokovic, the world is preparing to enjoy the Australian Open.


From this Australian Monday the Grand Slam is played.
