Novak Djokovic Deported From Australia

A tennis star, Novak Djokovic has been deported from Australia after losing a last-ditch court bid to stay in the country.

Judges rejected a challenge launched by the unvaccinated star after the government cancelled his visa on “health and good order” grounds.

Djokovic, who accepted the ruling and left on a flight to Dubai yesterday, said he was extremely disappointed.

It marks the end of a ten-day saga, in which Djokovic fought to stay to defend his title in the Australian Open.

The Australian Open could have seen Djokovic make history by winning his twenty-first Grand Slam.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison welcomed “the decision to keep our borders strong and keep Australians safe”.

Italy’s Salvatore Caruso, ranked one hundred and fiftieth in the world, is the lucky loser, who will now replace Djokovic in his match against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic on Monday.
