After a long and high-profile battle, tennis superstar Novak Djokovic has been deported from Australia amid tight security.
The player has reportedly left for Dubai after he failed to convince three leading senior judges about his right to stay in the country and defend his Australian Open championship in Melbourne.
The renowned Australian tennis tournament is all set to kickstart tomorrow as planned but fans of the star player are devastated that they won’t be seeing him on the court.
Recent reports mentioned how so many Goverment lawyers argued against the celeb player, adding how he had certainly turned into an icon for those who did not believe in vaccinations, and for that reason, he needed to be deported as soon as possible.point 317 |

The famous 20 time Grand Slam champion recently released his own statement on the matter, adding how he was extremely disappointed with the decision and court’s ruling.
This was Novak’s final resort to stay in the country and compete Down Under.
Recently, he was spotted alongside his team and reportedly was surrounded by plenty of security guards which comprised of officers hailing from the Australian Federal Police Escort at about 8:30 pm today.
This was less than 3 hours after the decision was announced regarding his deportation where all three judges made the unanimous ruling that went against his favor.
The player left his ‘detention hotel’ without undergoing detection, right ahead of his scheduled flight for Dubai, where he was booked with Emirates for the 10:30 pm takeoff from Melbourne to Dubai.
While walking through the busy airport, Novak donned a face mask and was surrounded by his team at all times, making sure he kept his head held up high, while walking past many baffled members of the general public.
