| Djokovic detained in Australia before the appeal |
Recently discussed tennis star Novak Djokovic has been detained in Australia ahead of a hearing on his visa appeal.
The country has for the second time revoked the visa of the world's best tennis player, calling him a "threat to public health" for failing to get vaccinated during the epidemic. Djokovic's lawyers have called the government's decision "unreasonable" and will hold a hearing on Sunday.
Djokovic returned to the hotel after an online pre-trial hearing on Saturday, the BBC reported. Here he is kept as a 'detained immigrant'. He will remain there until the final hearing on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Serbian tennis star will be able to stay in Australia and participate in the Australian Open in Melbourne on Monday.
If he wins the tournament for the tenth time, Djokovic will become the most successful star in the game, winning 21 major titles in the history of men's tennis.
The world's number one male tennis player will be expelled from Australia if he loses the appeal and will not receive a visa for the next three years.
