Nova Djokovic loses appeal for deportation.

I can't see him playing in Australia again. If he had abided with rules and had right paperwork in the beginning, there would have been no problem.

Now we will have to see what protocols, the French Open or even Wimbledon organisers put in place,

In a way it is a sad day for sport in general because we now may never see Novak on court again, but I am sure that most sports people would have looked at this and wonder just what paperwork maybe needed to compete. I am sure that protocols are different for each sport, but at the same time, should there be
agreed unified protocols in all countries whatever the continent & country, regard sporting participation.

^ Nonsense. He will be playing somewhere in the world very soon. His failure is to not be vaccinated. Australia have done the right thing as at least 95 of the top 100 male tennis players who are vaccinated know.

Well done to the Aussie Government for throwing the obnoxious twat out.

He got his exemption which was fine and complied with what they asked, but he lied on his forms. Pretty simple, he had to be deported.
