Novak Djokovic leaves Australia after losing his deportation appeal. The defending Australian Open champ won’t defend his title.

While a court initially ruled Djokovic could stay, Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke, who has wide powers, decided to deport him. In addition to not being inoculated against the coronavirus, Djokovic is a vocal vaccine skeptic, and the government said his presence could stir up anti-vaccine sentiments.
