‘Extremely disappointed’ Novak Djokovic deported from Australia
Novak Djokovic has left Australia and is on a plane bound for Dubai after losing his last appeal to remain in the country.
The world number one flew out of the country around 10.30pm on Sunday, after he failed in his bid to overturn his visa cancellation in the Federal Court.
In a statement released just after the court’s decision, Djokovic said he was “extremely disappointed” but respects the ruling and would cooperate in relation to his deportation.
“I am uncomfortable that the focus of the past weeks has been on me and I hope that we can all now focus on the game and tournament I love,” the statement read.
