The Australian government revoked the visa of tennis star Novak Djokovic for a second time.

The Serbian man's visa was revoked three days before the Australian Open due to public interest reasons, according to the Immigration Minister.

After the first cancellation, the lawyers for the tennis player successfully appealed it to the Federal Circuit and Family Court.

It is the second time since arriving in Melbourne last week that his visa has been canceled.

The exemption from the vaccine requirement was approved by the Victoria state government and Tennis Australia. He received a visa to travel.

The Australian Border Force canceled his visa after rejecting the exemption. A judge overturned the decision after he spent four nights in a hotel.
