Novak Djokovic’s wife Jelena Finally talks about Australia deportation fiasco
The World No. 1 landed in Melbourne on Wednesday night to compete in the Australian Open — the first Grand Slam of the tennis season — after announcing that he had received a vaccine exemption to compete in the tournament.
Djokovic’s visa was then rejected, and he now waits in an allegedly insect-infested hotel until his opportunity to overturn his deportation in an Australian court on Monday.
Jelena took a less aggressive approach to her statement than the tennis great’s mother, who accused the Australian government of treating her son like a “prisoner.”

“It’s Christmas today for us, my wishes are for everyone to be healthy, happy, safe and together with families. We wish we are all together today, but my consolation is that at least we are healthy. And we will grow from this experience,” she wrote on Twitter.
“Thank you dear people, all around the world for using your voice to send love to my husband. I am taking a deep breath to calm down and find gratitude (and understanding) in this moment for all that is happening.
“The only law that we should all respect across every single border is Love and respect for another human being. Love and forgiveness is never a mistake but a powerful force.”
