Novak Djokovic’s family have walked out of a press conference after being grilled over explosive details that have exposed the world No.1.

Novak Djokovic has won his court case against the Australian government.

Novak Djokovic may have won his battle in the courtroom but his reputation may never recover from the irrefutable proof he endangered the lives of Serbian children by visiting them while Covid positive.

Documents released by the court included Djokovic’s signed affidavit which were presented as part of his medical exemption application.

In those documents were his medical reports and positive PCR test results dated December 16 last year.

The paperwork showed Djokovic was tested at 1.05pm on December 16 and the results were returned positive at 8.19pm.

RECAP HOW THE MASSIVE DECISION PLAYED OUT

It means that Djokovic attended a clinic on December 17 – where he handed out trophies and posed mask-less for photos with young children – whilst knowing he had tested positive to Covid less than 24 hours earlier.

When grilled on the irregularities by Australian journalists in Serbia overnight, Djokovic’s family abruptly walked out on a press conference.

When asked by a reporter “Was he at an event on the 17th of December in Belgrade?”, brother Djordje gave a wry grin before making a swift exit.

“So, ah, this press conference is adjourned at the moment,” he said.

Djokovic also attended an exclusive photoshoot with L’Equip newspaper in Belgrade on December 18.

The world No. 1 tennis player had a second PCR test on December 22, where his results were returned negative within two hours.

But the fact remains, for at least five full days Djokovic was considered to be a Covid patient and as such should have been isolating – not attending functions without a mask potentially spreading the deadly disease.

The tennis superstar may be regarded as the world’s greatest player but his reputation now will be that of a selfish and reckless anti-vax fool.
