Andy Murray trolls Nigel Farage over trip to Novak Djokovic's trophy room

The Scottish tennis ace hit out after the Leave campaigner shared footage 
following his flight to Serbia to visit Novak Djokovic's brother to show his 
support for the World Number One over a visa cancellation. 

Djokovic was been detained from Thursday morning at an immigration facility in 
Melbourne after his visa was cancelled following scrutiny of the medical 
exemption he had secured to enter the country.

The former UKIP leader and now GB News presenter has been vocal in his support 
for Djokovic over his row with the Australian Government.

Farage had travelled to Belgrade and was spending time with the Djokovic 
family, sharing clips and opinions on the case through his social media 
channels. 

The three-time Grand Slam winner Murray took a shot at Farage over stance 
considering his continued calls for tougher borders in the UK for many years.

Quoting a tweet from Farage showing footage from the trophy room, Murray 
tweeted: "Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most 
of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported."

Andy Murray has responded to Nigel Farage, who earlier tweeted from Belgrade 
with the Djokovic family.

The five-time Australian Open finalist said: “I think everyone is shocked by 
it, to be honest.

“I’m going to say two things on it just now. The first thing is that I hope 
that Novak is OK. I know him well, and I’ve always had a good relationship with 
him and I hope that he’s OK.

“The second thing, it’s really not good for tennis at all, and I don’t think 
it’s good for anyone involved. I think it’s really bad.”

Earlier today, the world number one men’s tennis player won an appeal against a 
decision to refuse him a visa in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia ahead 
of the Australian Open.

Judge Anthony Kelly quashed the visa cancellation and ordered the Australian 
Government to pay legal costs and release Djokovic from detention.
