Djokovic loses battle against Visa cancellation
Novak Djokovic, the world number 1 in men’s tennis has lost a legal battle to avoid relegation from Australia. Which is a big setback for this legendary tennis player. With this decision it has now become clear that he will have to remain in detention in Melbourne until he is deported back from the country. In some dry words, the Chief Justice of Australia’s Federal Court, James Allsop, on Sunday rejected an unvaccinated tennis superstar’s attempt to restore his canceled visa. “The court orders that the revised application be dismissed with cost”, Allsop clarified while announcing the unanimous decision on the eve of the first matches at the Australian Open.
The 34-year-old defending champion and first seed was scheduled to play a match at the Australian Open on the evening of the first day. Had he retained the title, he would have become the first male tennis player in history to win 21 Grand Slams, but he won’t be able to achieve this feat in the year’s first Grand Slam.
When first-seeded Djokovic arrived in Australia on January 5 to participate in the first Grand Slam Australian Open of the year, starting January 17, his visa was revoked for not being vaccinated and he was detained at a detention centre. Gone. Although an Australian court upheld Djokovic’s appeal of playing in the tournament by accepting Djokovic’s arguments in this regard, rejecting the government’s decision to cancel his visa, the government canceled his visa for the second time.
