Djokovic back in Serbia after Australia deportation

Novak Djokovic has arrived in Serbia after being deported from Australia. The top men’s tennis player was deported after losing a visa battle that centred on the fact he is unvaccinated.

Supporters gathered at the airport in Belgrade, waving the national flag and chanting “we love Novak”.

“This is a shame what they did to Novak in Australia,” one supporter said. “This is a shame what the world has come to.”

“I myself am vaccinated, double-jabbed, but I think no-one should be forced to do something… he was judged and sentenced for his freedom of choice,” he added.
