The Serbian tennis player will have to leave the Australian country and will not be able to play the first major tournament of the season.
Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic has lost this Sunday in an Australian court the resource against the government’s decision to revoke his visa for a second time, which prevents him from defending his title at the Australian Open.
The decision has been made unanimously by the three judges of the Federal Court, which today addressed in a virtual hearing the appeal filed by Djokovic’s defense, who he was confined on saturday in a hotel.
After hearing the decision, the Australian Open will introduce a player from the previous to fill the vacancy left by the world’s top ranked. The organization of the tournament had published the order of play an hour and a half before the decision of the judges, so a redistribution between the top seeds will be impossible to compensate for the integrity of the table.
Thus, Djokovic loses the opportunity to consecrate himself in Australia as the most successful tennis player of all time with 21 Grand Slam titles.
