MELBOURNE. — Novak Djokovic’s appeal against his visa cancellation in Australia has been adjourned until Monday, with the Serb to remain in Melbourne quarantine until then.
Djokovic’s deportation from Australia has been delayed until at least Monday after his lawyers launched an urgent court battle to keep the tennis star in the country. In the early hours of yesterday morning in Australia, world number one tennis player Djokovic was denied entry into Australia after his visa was cancelled by border force officials at Melbourne airport.
The world No. 1 will remain locked up in a refugee detention hotel over the weekend in deportation limbo after his visa was rejected by border officials, with a judge adjourning the appeal decision until 10am Monday local time (11pm Sunday GMT).
The 34-year-old challenged the Australian Border Force’s refusal to allow him a visa to enter the country and his appeal has now been adjourned until 10am on Monday in Melbourne, court officials confirmed. After Australia’s Border Force confirmed Djokovic’s visa had been revoked, the Serb’s injunction request against the visa cancellation was initially listed for hearing at 4pm (0500 GMT) in the Federal Circuit and Family Court, according to court documents. The hearing was later adjourned until 6pm (0700 GMT), and now until 10am on Monday (2300 Sunday GMT).
