Tennis star Novak Djokovic's dream of participating in the upcoming Australian Open 2022 was left shattered on Sunday (January 16) as he lost a court appeal against the Australian government's decision to re-cancel his visa. The decision means Djokovic's visa stands cancelled and he is to be deported from Australia.

Djokovic had arrived in Melbourne in the first week of February with a medical exemption for being unvaccinated against COVID-19 as he looked forward to defending his Australian Open title. However, the nine-time Australian Open champion was sent into detention and his visa was cancelled&nbsp;after it was adjudged that he didn't satisfy the required conditions for being granted an exemption.

Djokovic won the legal battle against the Australian government to get his via reinstated and come out of detention to start his preparations for the tournament. However, his visa was re-cancelled earlier this week after Australia's Immigration Minister Alex Hawke&nbsp;exercised his personal power in the matter.

Djokovic's lawyers once again appealed against his visa cancellation as deportation threats loomed large over his Australian Open future. However, the Serbian tennis star's application was dismissed by Chief Justice James Allsop in a Federal court hearing on Sunday.

"The orders of the court are that the amended application be dismissed with costs", said Chief Justice Allsop while announcing the decision, which was taken&nbsp;unanimously among three judges and the reasons will be published in the coming days.

The government's lawyer on Sunday's hearing argued that Djokovic's continued presence in Australia risked triggering anti-vaccination sentiments among people at the time when the country is facing the worst wave of COVID-19 since the pandemic first made its presence felt in 2020.

Djokovic's name was included in the Australian Open draw and he was set to face&nbsp;fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic in his first-round match. However, the tennis star is now set to leave Australia after losing the legal battle against the government's decision to re-cancel his visa and have him deported over his unvaccinated status.

Novak Djokovic's Australian Open dream shattered as he loses court appeal against visa cancellation

In what comes as a huge blow to Novak Djokovic's chances of taking part in the upcoming Australian Open, his visa has been cancelled once again by Australia. Australia cancelled Djokovic's visa for the second time in a row on Friday over his fight to remain in the country and play in the Australian Open while being unvaccinated. The decision was taken by Australia's Immigration Minister Alex Hawke.

Hawke had the choice of exercising his personal power to revoke Djokovic's visa once again after the tennis star had won a court case against the Australian government's decision to cancel his visa when he had first arrived in the country unvaccinated with a 'medical exemption' last week.

The Australian government has sought to deport Djokovic from the country over his COVID-19 vaccination status.&nbsp;Australian Immigration Minister Hawke said he took the decision on the basis of "health and good order grounds". The re-cancellation of the visa might see Djokovic get banned from being granted an Australian visa for as many as three years.

However, Djokovic has the right to relaunch a legal case against the Australian government's decision to ensure he gets to remain in the country and play in the Australian Open 2022. Djokovic has already been included as a top seed in the Australian Open draw and had been training at the Rod Laver Arena ahead of the start of the tournament on January 17.

The decision comes after it came to light that Djokovic had 'lied' in his travel declaration form about not travelling anywhere 14 days prior to his arrival in Australia. The tennis star had travelled to Spain from Serbia before heading Down Under.&nbsp;

However, Djokovic addressed the allegations of a false declaration and stated that it was a 'human error' made by his agent. Djokovic's visa had been revoked for the first time on January 6 when he arrived in Melbourne after&nbsp;the Australian border officials said the World no.1 men's tennis player had "failed to provide proper evidence" for a medical exemption.

He was later sent into detention and spent days in an immigration hotel in Melbourne before being released earlier this week after winning a court battle against the Australian government's decision to revoke his visa.
