MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan 5 – World number one Novak Djokovic may have encountered a late snag on his trip to play in the Australian Open, after state government officials refused to support his visa application.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victoria’s acting sports minister, Jaala Pulford, said late Wednesday that her state had rejected a request for help and visa approvals were a matter for the federal government.<\/p>\n

It was unclear why the state government would need to lend its support.<\/p>\n

But Australian media reports said the nine-time Australian Open champion may have submitted a request for the wrong type of visa.<\/p>\n

He reportedly landed in Melbourne late Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“The federal government has asked if we will support Novak Djokovic’s visa application to enter Australia,” Pulford said in a message on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“We will not be providing Novak Djokovic with individual visa application support to participate in the 2022 Australian Open Grand Slam.”<\/p>\n

The Australian newspaper said Djokovic was seeking to enter the country on a work visa which “was believed to require the support from the Victorian government”.<\/p>\n

Melbourne’s The Age newspaper said the federal Border Force had contacted the Victorian government when they realised Djokovic’s team had requested “the wrong type of visa”.<\/p>\n

– ‘Next plane home’ –<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Age said Djokovic was likely to be allowed off his plane and into Melbourne but the issue was delaying his entry.<\/p>\n

Australians reacted with fury on learning that vaccine-sceptic Djokovic had received a medical exemption from having a Covid vaccine in order to play at this month’s Open.<\/p>\n

Tournament chief Craig Tiley said the defending champion had been given “no special favour” but urged him to reveal why he got the exemption to soothe public anger.<\/p>\n

All participants at the first Grand Slam of 2022, which starts on January 17, must be vaccinated against Covid-19 or have a medical exemption, which is granted only after assessment by two panels of independent experts.<\/p>\n

Djokovic announced late Tuesday he was en route to Melbourne with “an exemption permission”, ending the drawn-out saga over whether he would defend his title.<\/p>\n

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that if the reasons for Djokovic’s exemption were “insufficient” then the Serb would be “on the next plane home”.<\/p>\n

“There should be no special rules for Novak Djokovic at all. None whatsoever,” he told a news conference.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews warned that anyone entering the country must comply with strict border requirements.<\/p>\n

“While the Victorian government and Tennis Australia may permit a non-vaccinated player to compete in the Australian Open, it is the Commonwealth government that will enforce our requirements at the Australian border,” she said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“No individual competing at the Australian Open will be afforded any special treatment.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
