Novak Djokovic loses Australian visa appeal



The tennis star is set to be deported after losing his last-ditch court bid.

The Serbian player's visa was canceled by the Federal Court.

The government argued that he was a threat to public health.

The Australian Open is not going to be defended by the man who won it. He was going to play his first match on Monday.

The government's grounds were "invalid and illogical", as argued by the defence during the court hearing on Sunday.

After his visa was revoked following his arrival in Australia, he was taken to an immigration detention hotel in the city.

More details will be published shortly. The page should be refreshed for the fullest version.
