The Australian authorities have canceled the visa of the first racket of the world, Novak Djokovic, according to the official website of the Australian Border Guard Service (ABF).
The agency said that the athlete did not provide the proper evidence required to enter Australia, so he lost his visa. In addition, he was ordered to leave the country.
“Non-Australian citizens who do not have a valid visa upon entry or who have had their visa canceled will be detained and expelled from Australia,” the message says.
According to The Age, Djokovic’s lawyers are in the process of appealing the decision. It is not yet known if the athlete will leave Australia on Thursday, January 6, or whether he will remain in the country while his lawyers work on the appeal.
Earlier it became known about the refusal of Djokovic to enter Australia. The document according to which the athlete planned to cross the border does not imply entering into it data on the medical withdrawal from vaccination against coronavirus. The athlete was going to participate in the Australian Open, which will be held from January 17 to 30.
On January 5, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison delivered an ultimatum to Djokovic and announced that he was waiting for medical confirmation from him about the prohibition of vaccinations. Otherwise, he promised to send the tennis player home.
