Novak Djokovic s last-gasp bid to avoid deportation took a further blow on Saturday after he was detained by Australian Border Force hours before he began his court fight to stay in the country.
Having once failed to deport Djokovic from the country, Australia s conservative government is trying again, calling the tennis star a threat to public order who could spark civil unrest .
Srdjan Djokovic took to Instagram on Saturday to urge his 20-time Grand Slam champion son to hold on as he prepares to spend another night in detention.
Novak Djokovic will go back into detention after his deportation was delayed by the Government so he can continue his fight to stay in the country and defend his Australian Open title.
