JAKARTA - The Australian Federal Court will announce the reasons for denying tennis star Novak Djokovic's legal appeal for the cancellation of his visa on Thursday.
The court's spokesperson said the reasons for the rejection of the appeal will be read out in court by Chief Justice James Allsop in a session that will be broadcast live online.
Djokovic was deported from Australia on Sunday evening, just hours after a court rejected his attempt to stay in the country to play at the Australian Open, where he hopes to win a record 21st major title.
The first Grand Slam tournament of the year kicks off on Monday.
His departure from Australia ended the drama 11 days after the cancellation of his visa on arrival for not having a proper medical exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement.
Djokovic's story has sparked a global debate about the rights of people who choose not to be vaccinated as governments seek to protect communities from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Djokovic was held in an immigration detention hotel for several days until a court reinstated his visa on the grounds that he had been unfairly treated at the airport.
On Friday, the government again canceled Djokovic's visa on the grounds that he could foster anti-vaccination sentiment if he was allowed to stay.
Djokovic opposed the annulment on the grounds that the minister had acted irrationally, but the court dismissed the case.
