Novak Djokovic thanked people around the world for their support as he waits for a decision on his deportation from Australia.

Australia's vaccine rules were controversially given an exemption to be used by the Serbian player in the Australian Open.

He was denied entry on landing.

A court challenge is due on Monday for the man in immigration detainment.

The world number one tennis player thanked people around the world for their support.

He said in a message that it was appreciated.

Many Australians were angry at the decision to grant a medical exemption to the man who has said he is against vaccinations.

The country's adult population is fully vaccineed, but they still face restrictions as cases of infections rise.

Tennis Australia, the body that runs the event, and Victoria state organised two independent medical panels to give the exemption to the player.

The player failed to provide appropriate evidence at the airport, according to the ABF.

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews said in an interview with Channel 9 on Friday that the tennis star is free to leave at any time, and that Border Force will facilitate that.

It is not known how long the immigration hotel will be open for, as it has been criticized by refugees for its poor conditions. Serbia wants Australia to move him to a nicer hotel.

Srdjan said that his son had been held in a room at the airport and that it was a fight for the whole world.

The Australian Open is going to start in January. It would make him the most successful player in the history of the game, with 21 Grand Slams, if he won the tournament for the tenth time.
