Novak Djokovic has been dealt yet another blow with the tennis star set to face an investigation by Spanish authorities

This follows revelations Djokovic traveled to the country without a valid vaccination certificate or exemption in December and early January.

It’s believed the world number one did not request any special permission from the Spanish Embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enter the country.

Back in Australia… there are reports the nation’s immigration minister is just hours away from deciding whether or not Novak will be allowed to stay Down Under and compete in the Australian Open.

On Wednesday, the embattled tennis player published an Instagram post… addressing both when he tested positive for Covid AND a mistake on his border entry form.

He admitted he did go ahead with a photoshoot and interview after knowingly being Covid positive… canceling all commitments from this point forward.

For more, I spoke with media lawyer Justin Quill and I began by asking about his thoughts on Novak’s recent Instagram post.
