Novak Djokovic is talking to lawyers about potentially suing the Australian government, reports have claimed.
World number one Novak Djokovic is in talks about suing the Australian government for ‘ill treatment during his deportation drama, reports have claimed, with the Serbian star supposedly looking for more than $4 million in compensation.
According to UK outlet, The Sun, the 34-year-old and his team have consulted lawyers about seeking compensation to the tune of around $4.35 million – including the prize money he could have won if he had defended his title Down Under.
His agent Edoard Artladi was quoted saying:
“It’s well known that Novak and his family feel he was poorly treated in the quarantine hotel in Melbourne. His mother revealed how it was full of fleas and maggots. He was kept a virtual prisoner."
The London-based law firm representing the 20-time Grand Slam king refused to comment on the claims when approached by the Australian outlet news.com.au.
