Upon his arrival in Melbourne, Tennis superstar, Novak Djokovic’s visa to enter Australia was dramatically revoked.<\/p>\n

The Serbian tennis star, who is a world No.1 was held in the city’s airport for several hours before border forces announced he had not met entry rules and would be deported back to his country.<\/p>\n

He has reportedly now been taken to a government detention hotel pending his departure on an outbound flight.<\/p>\n

The developments come amid a backlash over a vaccine exemption Djokovic said he got to play in the Australian Open.<\/p>\n

Djokovic has not spoken about his vaccination status, but last year he said he was “opposed to vaccination”.<\/p>\n

Tennis Australia confirmed a medical exemption had been granted for the player “following a rigorous review process involving two separate independent panels” but problems emerged after Djokovic arrived in Melbourne late on Wednesday from Dubai.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Australian Border Force said Djokovic “failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet the entry requirements to Australia, and his visa<\/a> has been subsequently cancelled.<\/p>\n

“Non-citizens who do not hold a valid visa on entry or who have had their visa cancelled will be detained and removed from Australia,” it added.<\/p>\n

Victoria’s acting sports minister tweeted that the state had declined to support his visa application amid the confusion.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison has denied Djokovic is being singled out and said no-one was above the country’s rules. At a press conference on Thursday, Mr. Morrison said he had been advised that a medical exemption was not in place for the player’s entry and said the evidence provided was “found to be insufficient”.<\/p>\n

Local reports suggest Djokovic could pursue a legal appeal or apply for a new visa so he can re-enter and play in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Reuters reports he was later taken from the airport to a hotel in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton which is used for immigration detention.<\/p>\n

Australian Health Minister, Greg Hunt earlier described Djokovic’s treatment as “tough” but “fair” and said, “it’s one rule for all under this Australian government”.<\/p>\n

But the tennis star’s treatment has provoked outrage in his native Serbia. His father, Srdjan Djokovic, said his son had been held in a room guarded by police at the airport.<\/p>\n

“This is not just a fight for Novak, but a fight for the whole world,” he said in a statement released to the media.<\/p>\n

President Aleksander Vucic said the star was a victim of “harassment” and said that “the whole of Serbia” supported him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
