Novak Djokovic, who was in Melbourne for the first Grand Slam of the year to defend his 21st major was deported while his visa was cancelled twice following a medical exemption and vaccination controversy. The Serb was sent back out of Australia crushed his dream of becoming the man with the most Grand Slam titles in Men’s Singles history that is now accomplished by Rafa yesterday.
While World No. 152 doesn’t really appreciate the 21-times Grand Slam champion’s achievement and think it happened because Novak was not part of the competition, The Serb himself congratulated World No. 5 Rafa for his 21st.
