Novak Djokovic was tormented by the authorities at the Melbourne Airport. The world No.1 after traveling for 14 hours from Melbourne to Dubai was interrogated by the border police officers for nearly two hours.

After that, the Serb was put in detention in an isolated room at the airport. His mobile phone was snatched away from him, to ensure he doesn’t contact anyone about his situation. He wasn’t even allowed to contact his team members since two police officers were stationed right outside his room.

He was made to stay in such a terrible environment for nearly 6-7 hours, after which he was informed that his VISA was canceled and he was asked to return back home on the same day.

Djokovic was treated as if he was a criminal who was trying to enter the country without any proof. The medical exemption provided to him by the victorian government proved to be useless at the Melbourne Airport. Djokovic was scapegoated and tormented at the airport, while the people who were angry with the Serb enjoyed the whole fiasco.

However, Djokovic fans showed their anger towards this disrespect shown towards the world No.1 on Twitter.

However, there were some people who supported the decision.
