Djokovic said he is 'extremely disappointed' that a court on Sunday dismissed his challenge to a deportation order but accepts decision
"I will now be taking some time to rest and to recuperate, before making any further comments beyond this," Djokovic said.
Djokovic had appealed Immigration Minister Alex Hawke's decision to cancel his visa on the grounds that he was a threat to public order because his presence would encourage anti-vaccination sentiment amid Australia's worst Covid-19 outbreak."I will now be taking some time to rest and to recuperate, before making any further comments beyond this," the 34-year-old said in a statement after the court dismissed his case.
Djokovic, who is not vaccinated against Covid-19, was granted a medical exemption to compete at the Melbourne Park major, a tournament he has won nine times including the last three editions. "I would like to wish the players, tournament officials, staff, volunteers and fans all the best for the tournament." A deportation order on Sunday usually also includes a three-year ban on returning to Australia.
