Novak Djokovic is set to be deported from Australia after the country’s Federal Court on Sunday morning rejected an appeal against the re-cancellation of his visa.
Three Federal Court judges upheld a decision made on Friday by the immigration minister to cancel the 34-year-old Serb’s visa on public interest grounds.
The full reasons behind the court’s unanimous ruling will be published in the “coming days”.
Djokovic, whose trouble entering Australia has centred around his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid-19, had been scheduled to begin his quest on Monday for a record-extending 10th Australian Open title and 21st Grand Slam crown, but now looks set to be replaced in the draw.
