Djokovic drama at Australian Open

From The Weekend , 8:14 am on 15 January 2022

The story of the tennis player, the vaccine mandate and the federal government continues to twist and turn in Victoria. Novak Djokovic is set to be detained by Australian immigration officials again today as his lawyers urgently prepare to fight the cancellation of his visa for a second time. Djokovic has been ordered to attend an interview with immigration officials in Melbourne this morning, after which he will be formally detained, following a late-night court hearing on Friday. Emile is joined by veteran tennis journalist and broadcaster David Luddy who has been watching the case like a hawk.
