Novak Djokovic: Tennis star to be deported after losing Australia visa appeal

Tennis star Novak Djokovic has lost his last-ditch court bid to stay in Australia and is set to be deported.

Judges rejected his appeal after the government cancelled the unvaccinated player's visa for a second time this month on public health grounds.

The decision has ended the 34-year-old's hopes of defending his Australian Open title and winning a record 21st Grand Slam.

He said he was "extremely disappointed" but respected the ruling.
