The hotel where Australians "imprisoned" Novak last year is today a ghost building and looks even more eerie

In the rain, this building in the wider city center looks even spookier, as you can see for yourself here

A year after, Novak Djokovic is back in Australia, but this time he is not facing the torment he experienced during his previous stay here when he was detained by the authorities, forced to stand trial and eventually deported to Serbia.

The epicenter of the event was a hotel in central Melbourne, which Telegraf visited on this occasion to witness the conditions in which the best Serbian tennis player was forced to stay.

In Swanston Street, almost the very center of Melbourne, stands a building that is now totally abandoned. It was once a hotel accommodating migrants, where Novak found himself through a series of circumstances.

Djokovic had to wait in that building to go to court hearings. It had with sealed windows and he would be taken away by the border service in a vehicle with tinted windows. Often photojournalists did not even manage to snap a photo.

Now, that hotel is closed and nobody is there. It's a wasteland, the windows are dusty and the hotel sign is covered.

In the rain, the building in the wider city center looks even spookier, as you can see for yourself here.

Although he was denied the chance to compete at the Australian Open last year, and great injustice was done to him on several other levels, Djokovic is free again in Melbourne, and is now again the top favorite to win the trophy.
