Djokovic fails in court and has to leave Australia! He can’t defend his title

A court was sitting this morning to decide whether Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic will be allowed to stay in Australia and have his visa renewed. The decision took a very long time and the result is that the Serbian must leave the country and thus will not defend his title.

The story of Novak Djokovic in Australia is definitely over. The Serbian tennis player was waiting for the court to decide whether his visa would be returned or not.

The second option is a reality and the Serbian has to leave Australia and will not play in the Australian Open, a tournament he would normally defend.

Djokovic must pay all court costs and will remain in a detention facility until he is deported. His lawyers have not yet commented.

There has also been talk that he faces deportation and a three-year break from the possibility of obtaining a new visa after his visa is denied.

Either way, the tennis player will surely change his mind about visiting the country at all next time. So the tournament will start without the Serbian tennis player.

This makes the twenty-five-year-old Russian Daniil Medvedev, who is second in the ATP rankings just behind Djokovic, the favourite.
