Djokovic to be deported after losing visa appeal hearing, won't play Australian Open
ATPSunday, 16 January 2022 at 08:30
Novak Djokovic is set to be deported from Australia after the Federal Court rejected his appeal against the cancellation of his visa from Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke.
Three judges upheld this decision on Friday to cancel his visa on public interest grounds.
The World No.1 was looking for his record extending 10th title in Melbourne and his 21st overall but now he is facing a three-year ban from the country instead.
It brings to an end a long running saga which concludes just before the Australian Open begins tomorrow.
"I'd like to make a brief statement to address the outcomes of today’s Court hearing. I will now be taking some time to rest and to recuperate, before making any further comments beyond this. I am extremely disappointed with the ruling," said Djokovic in a statement.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
