Meanwhile, government lawyers look set to try to overturn the decision and send the tennis ace packing before he hits so much as a single ball at the Australian Open 2022.It all began when the 20-times Grand Slam winner arrived Down Under with the intention of competing.Novak had thought he had been granted an exemption by medical teams in Australia, allowing him to visit the country without proof of vaccination.However, he was in for a horrifying shock when he arrived, as he was immediately detained by immigration staff and ended up spending nine hours trapped in the airport.The next step was a stay in Melbourne's Park Hotel, a detention centre for refugees, asylum seekers and individuals who are quarantining.Novak claimed food there was mouldy and covered in live maggots, while refugees claimed to have vomited after eating it.The stay was a far cry from the life of luxury he had been accustomed to while travelling for work in the past.After five days, he was finally released.However, an eagle-eyed lawyer has now noticed that a legal injunction document by law firm Hall and Wilcox had spelt the star's name wrong, writing that it was served on behalf of 'Djokavic', instead of 'Djokovic.'Reality TV lawyer Belinda Robinson ridiculed the document, posting a screenshot on social media with the sarcastic swipe: "When u forget what your highest profile clients name is."(sic)In spite of the blunder, judges have now ruled that the Serbian champ can stay in the country.However, whether this status can be overturned and whether he can still compete continues to hang in the balance."I'm pleased and grateful that the judge overturned my visa.
