On January 14, Beijing time, according to the "Times" newspaper, Australia's immigration minister Alex Hawke decided to implement individual rights and cancel the Australian visa of Djokovic, the world's first. If Djokovic does not appeal, or if his appeal fails, he will be immediately deported. It is reported that the Serbian's team of lawyers plans to appeal, hoping to let Djokovic's journey to defend his title start smoothly.

Alex Hawke, Australia's Immigration Minister, said in a statement: "Today I have decided to implement my individual right to cancel Djokovic's visa on the grounds of health and good order, in accordance with the regulations in the Immigration Act, on the grounds that it is in the interest of the people. On January 10, 2022, the Federal Circuit and the Family Court made a decision to revoke Djokovic's visa for reasons of procedural fairness. In order to make this decision, I carefully reviewed the information submitted by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Australian Border Service and Djokovic. The current Government, led by Morrison, has been unwavering in protecting Australia's borders, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. ”

If Djokovic is ultimately unable to play at the Australian Open, his top seed will be replaced by No. 5 seed Rublev.
