Serbian tennis superstar Novak Djokovic lost his chance to play at the Australian Open as the Australian court dismissed his appeal against the deportation order, according to local media on Sunday. The Federal Court with a three-judge panel ruled unanimously against Djokovic on Sunday, after hearing his case, according to Australian ABC News. Djokovic was detained Saturday after Australian officials canceled his visa for a second time. After he was sent to an immigration detention hotel in Melbourne, a federal court ordered his release. Australia mandates all players be fully vaccinated for the coronavirus to compete in the year’s first major tennis tournament.
