Australians mourned the former ATP No. 1 after he was ineligible to play at the Australian Open last year because he had not been vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

Novak Djokovic was stripped by Australian fans in Adelaide

Novak Djokovic was exempt from vaccination, but he was stopped at the airport and transferred to a hotel where he spent several days. Although he won the case in court, the Serb was deported.

Djokovic was missed by fans in Australia who really stripped him of his gear after his success in Adelaide.

At the end of the debate with Sebastian Korda, Nole signed a series of autographs for the fans present in the arena where the last action of the competition took place.

Moreover, in gratitude for the warmth with which he was received, Djokovic gave up several items of clothing that he gave to fans.
