After the announcement of the expulsion of Novak Djokovic from Australia, this Sunday, January 16, many Internet users are mocked by the tennis player, sent home because of his virgin vaccination schedule.
Since January 5, Novak Djokovic is in the sights of the Australian government after entering the country without being vaccinated against Covid-19. Following the double cancellation of his visa, the tennis player was sent to administrative detention in Melbourne. But, this Sunday, January 16, the 34-year-old sportsman received his verdict, namely thathe will not be able to participate in the Australian Open, which begins next week. In a statement, the antivax revealed to be “very disappointed” of this decision, while announcing “cooperate with the competent authorities” to go home.
The least we can say is that Internet users did not hesitate to react to this news, on social networks, each one more inventive than the other. On Twitter in particular, many people have made fun of Novak Djokovic, who is not likely to obtain a 21st Grand Slam title. Montages, GIFS or simple humorous tweets, countless posts have flourished on the Web in a few hours, notably unveiled by the DailyMail. “Novak Djokovic who tried to play with fire, but who took the boomerang in the face”, launched a user of the platform with amusement, while another is already anticipating the meeting between “Serbs and Australians” as part of the Eurovision Song Contest, to be held next May in Turin, Italy.
