World number one Novak Djokovic's brother Djordje has said that the tennis star is determined to see truth prevail in the vaccine exemption controversy and as a result the Serbian player will fight it out in the court.The Australian Open organisers granted a medical exemption to vaccine-sceptic Djokovic after which he jetted into Melbourne on Wednesday. However, on landing the nine-time Australian Open champion spent eight hours in detention at Melbourne Airport where he unsuccessfully pleaded his case to border officials."Novak could have left Australia by now, but had he done that, he would have admitted he is guilty which he is not and defeat, which is not an option. What's left is to await the court decision. I don't know what he'll do if the decision doesn't go his way, and he doesn't know either. He is full of emotions, and tennis and the grand slam are currently the last things on his mind," Djordje told Serbian media, as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald."The only thing he wants is to see justice served and the truth revealed. He didn't complete any forms, that was done through the Australian tennis federation. It cooperated with the federal government and the tennis federation cannot issue any certificate, it was issued by the Victorian government. But the federal government stopped that certificate, which means we've reached a serious political situation," he added.Djokovic on Friday had thanked people for their support since he was refused entry to Australia over his COVID-19 vaccine status."Thank you to people around the world for your continuous support. i can feel it and it is greatly appreciated," the Serbian, who is in a detention facility in Melbourne awaiting an appeal, said on Instagram.On Thursday, Djokovic won his court bid and as a result, there was no immediate deportation, allowing the defending Australian Open champion to stay in Melbourne until at least Monday.Notably, the 34-year-old world number one had been granted a medical exemption to play in the AO 2022 for unspecified reasons, which created a huge uproar. Djokovic's exemption was given by two independent medical panels organised by Tennis Australia, the body that runs the event, and Victoria state.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
