Novak Djokovic is in talks with lawyers about filing a £3.2 million lawsuit against the Australian government for “bad treatment.”
The 34-year-old unvaccinated tennis player sought a visa exemption, but was deported before the Australian Open.
The £3.2 million damages include the £2.3 million prize money that the world No. 1 tennis player was supposed to win.
“It’s well known that Novak and his family believe he was poorly treated in the quarantine hotel in Melbourne,” a source close to his agent Edoardo Artladi told The Sun.

“His mother described it as being infested with fleas and worms. He was treated as though he were a virtual prisoner.”
“He was subjected to humiliating treatment,” said lawyer Toma Fila. He should file a lawsuit.”
Djokovic is back home in Belgrade, Serbia.
