The Australian authorities are asking that Novak Djokovic - not vaccinated against Covid - be expelled from the country, the lawyers of the world's top tennis player have filed an appeal and a court decision is expected between today and tomorrow. Meanwhile, Nole is again in detention.

The government believes that its presence on the ground could "encourage sentiment against vaccines".

The story was also commented by Rafa Nadal: "The Australian Open is much more important than any player", he said referring to Djokovic, adding that in any case "it will be a great Australian Open with or without him".
