After receiving the exemption earlier this week, Djokovic arrived in Melbourne on Thursday morning to defend his title. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Djokovic, who believes positive thinking can transform the molecular structure of water, faced multiple issues regarding his entry into Australia, and as a result had been questioned overnight by Australian Border Force officials at Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport.
Border agents asked if the regional government could help facilitate Djokovic’s entry. But Victorian officials know which way the political winds are blowing and were in no mood to grant Djokovic any favors, as a member of the state’s Legislative Council made clear.
