Novak Djokovic's visa cancelled for a second time by the Australian government

Djokovic would not be able to secure a visa to come to Australia for three years, except in compelling circumstances that affect Australia's interest
The Australian government cancelled Novak Djokovic's visa for a second time on January 14, saying the world tennis No. 1, unvaccinated for COVID-19, may pose a risk to the community.
The decision raises the prospect of a second court battle by the Serbian tennis star to be allowed to stay and bid for a record 21st major tennis title at the Australian Open, but time is running out with the tournament starting on January 17.
Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke exercised his discretionary powers to revoke Djokovic's visa after a court quashed an earlier revocation and released him from immigration detention on January 10.
