As World No.1 & 20-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic stays in an isolation hotel provided by the government in Melbourne after his Visa was cancelled, Serbian fans have started to protest. A group of fans outside the facility where Djokovic has been kept in Melbourne claim that the tennis star is a victim of political games.

Djokovic's father also claimed that Serbian Tennis star will not suffer hypocrisy, colonialism and injustice and fight as the team prepares for legal action against the organisers of the Australian Open and the government.

The defending champion at the year's maiden Grand Slam claimed that he has been given medical exemption to travel without vaccination but Australian Prime Minister said that no one is above the law. Australian border rules set by the government clearly mentions that any travelers to the country need vaccine certiciation or will get vaccinated upon arrival but Djokovic's anti-vaccine stand has clearly put him on collision course with the government.
