Djokovic's lawyers say that since he recently recovered from COVID-19, he didn't need to be inoculated. Despite all that has happened, I want to stay and try to compete @AustralianOpen,” Djokovic said in the post. The tennis star’s brother, Djordje Djokovic, told television network Prva in Belgrade, Serbia: “This is definitely politics, all this was politics." At Monday's court hearing, Djokovic's lawyers argued their client did not need proof of vaccination because he had evidence that he had been infected with the coronavirus last month. Judge Kelly noted that Djokovic had provided officials at Melbourne’s airport with a medical exemption given him by Tennis Australia and two medical panels.
