Reports stated that the Australian immigration minister exercised his discretionary powers to cancel Djokovic’s visa for the second time.

In yet another twist in the tale in the Novak Djokovic saga, Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke announced Friday that the country has yet again cancelled the tennis star’s visa “in public interest”.

Reuters quoted the Australian government as saying that the unvaccinated player could pose a risk to the community.

Reports stated that the Australian immigration minister exercised his discretionary powers to cancel Djokovic’s visa for the second time.

The first revocation of the Serbian tennis player’s visa had been quashed by an Australian court which also released him from the immigration detention on Monday.
