Novak Djokovic is writing on Instagram for the first time since entering Australia – and his wife also addresses fans

His wife Jelena also wrote on the “Instagram” site. World Number One Wife wrote: “Thank you to all the dear ones around the world for raising your voice to send love to my husband.”

“I take a deep breath to calm myself down and find gratitude (and understanding) for everything that is happening at this moment,” the 35-year-old Serb said.

“The only law we must respect across all frontiers is love and respect for others,” she demanded and wrote: “Love and forgiveness are not wrong, but a precious strength.”

Djokovic’s visa was revoked on entry because, in the immigration authorities’ view, the previous year’s winner had not provided “sufficient evidence of compliance with the conditions of entry”. Then his lawyers appealed the decision to deport. Djokovic is allowed to stay in Australia until Monday’s decision.
