Novak Djokovic: Tennis star detained ahead of deportation appeal

Novak Djokovic has been detained in Australia ahead of a court hearing that will determine whether the unvaccinated tennis star can stay in the country.

The Serbian faces deportation after his visa was canceled for a second time, with the government labeling the 34-year-old a threat to public health.

His lawyers are appealing against what they called an “irrational” decision, with the hearing set for Sunday.
