The will-he-wont-he play obsession around Novak Djokovic is over after the Serbian tennis star was told he would be deported after failing to meet Australia’s strict border security measures.
The revelation caused a stream of outrage on social media with calls to boycott the Australian Open, and criticism of both the Victorian and federal governments for allowing him to enter, despite his unclear vaccination status and the grounds under which he was granted an exemption.
Today on Please Explain, The Age’s Paul Sakkal joins Nathanael Cooper to look at what brought Djokovic to this point.
