Djokovic's visa revoked again: 'World number one held Australian Open to hijack'

Description

Darren Walton, sports reporter for AAP (Australian Associated Press), joins France 24 amid the fury surrounding world number one Novak Djokovic. Mr. Walton describes how "this whole affair has basically held the entire Australian Open, the season's first grand slam, to ransom." Thursday's draw was left in "a shambles," forcing tournament officials to abruptly postpone it. "The vast majority of Australians don't want Novak Djokovic in the country," explains Mr. Walton. "He's broken laws, he's lied, and basically Australians are fed up with him."
