Whether the number 1 in tennis can participate in the Australian Open is still in the stars. Now an entry form has emerged on which Djokovic made false information about his travel behavior.
“Happy New Year” – wishes the Soto Academy in Marbella including Djokovic on January 1st.

Novak Djokovic’s entry form has surfaced. With a fatal mistake.
The tennis professional ticked the answer as to whether he had traveled in the last fourteen days with no.
However, Djokovic had trained in Spain, traveled to Dubai and from there flew to Australia.
Although the cancellation of his visa has been lifted since Monday, Immigration Minister Alex Hawke (44) could still use his right of veto and withdraw the Serb’s visa. The reason for this is a wrong cross on the entry form, as “The Age” writes.
“Did you travel or plan to travel to Australia in the two weeks prior to your entry?” Novak Djokovic (34) ticked the answer no when he entered Australia. But that’s not true. Djokovic had trained in Marbella in Spain at the end of December, but he left for Australia from Dubai, as “FAZ” writes.
Serious consequences
The Soto Tennis Academy posted videos on Twitter of Djokovic training in Marbella, talking to children after training and casually posing for photos. And that on January 1st, less than a fortnight before his arrival in Australia.
Even if the incorrect cross is an oversight, it could have serious consequences. When asked about travel behavior over the past fourteen days, it says that false or incorrect information is a serious offense. You can also be prosecuted for incorrect information. The consequence could even be a prison sentence of up to twelve months.
