Novak Djokovic will be deported from Australia and will not play in the Australian Open after losing his visa appeal to stay in the country.

Three Federal Court judges upheld a decision to cancel the unvaccinated tennis star's visa on public interest grounds.

The Serb now looks set for a three-year ban from Australia, a move that will hinder his attempt to win 21 grand slams and become the greatest player of all time.

The 34-year-old said he was “extremely disappointed” by the decision.
