Tennis star Novak Djokovic on Sunday (December 16) lost his appeal against the Australian government’s decision to cancel his visa for a second time and is set to be deported from the country.
The 20-time grand slam champion had been scheduled to play against fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic at the Australian Open, which begins Monday.
It’s not yet clear whether defending champion Djokovic will still be allowed to compete in the tournament, with some legal options left.
