Ovo je Novakov prvi dolazak u grad iz kojeg je deportovan prije godinu dana nakon skandala u vezi vakcionalnog statusa. Tada su ga na aerodromu dočekali policajci koji su ga priveli, a sada su ga odmah saletjeli fanovi koji su željeli da im da autograme i potpiše postere.

„Skoro godinu dana otkako je neslavno deportovan iz Australije, Novak Đoković se vratio u Melbourne. Teniser iz Srbije je danas popodne sletio čarterom iz Adelaidea, a viđen je kako potpisuje postere i fotografiše se sa navijačima pre polaska sa aerodroma“.

Almost a year since he was infamously deported from Australia, Novak Djokovic has returned to Melbourne.

The Serbian star touched down in a chartered jet from Adelaide this afternoon, and was seen signing posters and taking photos with fans before departing the airport. #9News pic.twitter.com/CaTAHMHQLV
