How Novak Djokovic’s legal team hit the government with a NEW argument as star’s fate looms: Here’s what will happen if world number one wins, loses – or the court can’t reach a decision
- Novak Djokovic still at notorious immigration detention centre in Melbourne
- His Australian visa was cancelled for a second time on Friday by the government
- The world No. 1 Serbian tennis star is considered a ‘health and good order risk’
- A final decision is expected to be made at a Federal Court hearing on Sunday
- If his legal team wins Djokovic could step on court in the first round on Monday
Lawyers for Novak Djokovic will make a last-ditch bid for the world No. 1 to stay in Australia by hitting Immigration Minister Alex Hawke with a new argument when the blockbuster case goes before the Federal Court on Sunday.
A final ruling on whether the unvaccinated tennis star can play in Monday’s Australian Open is almost certain to be made by the court, after the Serbian had his visa cancelled for a second time on the grounds his participation in the tournament would ‘foster anti-vaccination sentiment’.
