it looks like he is screwed he has one appeal left now and one Australian legal expert (for want of a better word) says he hasn't a chance of winning.
 
I tried to think what I would do if I had to go to Canada (15 minutes or so away) for something pretty important (wedding or a funeral).
Ultimately, I would bend over backwards to abide by Canada's rules. I'm not going to make a stink, argue or appeal anything. I guess it's because I don't feel I'd have another choice. It's just what us normal people do.
 
If he loses this appeal and it sounds like he will a 3 year ban on Australian entry comes with it.
I think some other countries will follow as he has proved that he does not follow isolation rules by his own admission so can not be trusted.
He may retire if this happens as he has embarrassed himself with his elitist attitude
 
I think the Aussies should bang him in the slammer for a year so he can have time to think about the errors of his ways.
Good job he hadn't rocked up in a country that REALLY didn't give a cack he would have either been turned round on the next plane or jailed as soon as he got ar5ey.
 
Game over and some huge bills coming his way :laugh8:



Novak Djokovic has been deported from Australia after losing a last-ditch court bid to stay in the country.
Judges rejected a challenge launched by the unvaccinated tennis star after the government cancelled his visa on "health and good order" grounds.
Djokovic said he was "extremely disappointed" but accepted the ruling. He left on a flight to Dubai on Sunday.
It marks the end of a 10-day saga, in which Djokovic fought to stay to defend his title in the Australian Open.
Djokovic's supporters fell silent outside the courtroom as the decision was announced on the eve of his opening match in the tournament. One fan told the BBC that her summer would be "empty" without the 34-year-old playing at the Open.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison welcomed "the decision to keep our borders strong and keep Australians safe".

Djokovic launched the case after Immigration Minister Alex Hawke used his ministerial powers to cancel the Serbian player's visa, arguing that his presence in the country risked fanning anti-vaccine sentiment.
It was the second time his visa had been revoked, after a first cancellation over not following Covid entry rules was overturned by a different judge.

During Sunday's court hearing before a three-judge panel, Djokovic's defence unsuccessfully argued that the grounds given by the government were "invalid and illogical".
Chief Justice James Allsop said the federal court's ruling was based on the legality of the minister's decision, not on whether it was the right decision to make.
Full reasoning for the ruling will be made public in the coming days, he said.
Deportation orders usually include a three-year ban on returning to Australia, though this can be waived in certain circumstances.

There has been much public anger in Australia over the player's attempt to enter the country without being vaccinated against Covid-19. The federal government has repeatedly said people must comply with the strict laws in place to deal with the pandemic, and that no-one is "above the law".
Djokovic was originally granted a medical exemption to enter Australia by two different independent health panels - one commissioned by Tennis Australia, the other by the state government of Victoria - after testing positive for coronavirus in mid-December.
However, the Australian Border Force detained him on 5 January for not meeting federal coronavirus requirements, and his visa was revoked.
A judge later overturned that decision, but the government stepped in last Friday to revoke the visa again, saying doing so was in the public interest.
Although Djokovic is not vaccinated against Covid-19, he has not actively promoted anti-vax disinformation. However, Australian anti-vaxxers have been using the hashtag #IStandWithDjokovic on social media.

The visa battle is also at the centre of a political row in the country.
In his statement on Sunday, Mr Morrison said the government was "prepared to take the decisions and actions necessary to protect the integrity of our borders".
But Australian opposition politician Kristina Keneally said Mr Morrison had made himself a "laughing stock" by mishandling the Djokovic case, as she questioned why the unvaccinated player was granted a visa in the first place.
Mr Morrison and his government also faced anger from Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
"He [Djokovic] came to Australia with a medical exemption proposal and then you were mistreating him for 10 days. Why did you do it? Doing a witch hunt against him? This is something that no one can understand," he said.
The men's tennis governing body ATP called the saga a "deeply regrettable series of events", while British tennis star Andy Murray said the situation was "not good" for anyone.
Djokovic on Sunday said he was "uncomfortable" with the focus placed on him as a result of the the visa row, adding: "I hope that we can all now focus on the game and tournament I love."
The Australian Open could have seen Djokovic make history by winning his 21st Grand Slam.
Italy's Salvatore Caruso, ranked 150th in the world, is the "lucky loser" who will now replace Djokovic in his match against Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic on Monday.

More fishy circumstances surrounding the tennis dude.
Thx for the post DD, I think this is going to haunt both him and Tennis Australia for some time, I have heard it alleged that TA told him and others what to say on their visa applications and there has been a call for the 'head' of TA. It will also have him flagged around the world re visa fraud and I strongly doubt we will see him back in Aus. thank f*. Personally I cant stand the man, I have seen him using that Serbian death salute to his bench on a number of occasions, quite a few of our local soccer players got long bans for doing that! Good old BBC, still the best radio station in the world.
 
I for one wont be losing any sleep if he decides he would rather not play a game of tennis than have a vaccine, SWMBO had to have the jab to keep her job as a carer she and all her colleagues didn't get he option it was either get the jab or leave.


Novak Djokovic has said he would rather miss out on future tennis trophies than be forced to get a Covid vaccine.

Speaking exclusively to the BBC, he said he should not be associated with the anti-vax movement, but supported an individual's right to choose.
Djokovic was asked if he would sacrifice taking part in competitions such as Wimbledon and the French Open over his stance on the vaccine.
"Yes, that is the price that I'm willing to pay," he said.

But he also confirmed he was willing to forego the chance to become statistically the greatest male tennis player of all time because he felt so strongly. Djokovic's rival, Rafael Nadal, has won 21 Grand Slam singles titles - the most of any male competitor.
Asked why, he replied: "Because the principles of decision making on my body are more important than any title or anything else. I'm trying to be in tune with my body as much as I possibly can."
