Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic will be questioned and then later detained by border force officers after winning a late-night court battle to delay deportation, following cancellation of his visa late on Friday night.

Attorneys for the world number one tennis player have until 12pm on Saturday to file their submissions while lawyers for the government have till 10pm.

Djokovic has avoided deportation for now after he sought and obtained an injunction to avoid deportation late on Friday night. The world number one will meet with government officials for an interview on Saturday around 8am before he faces a hearing at 10:15am AEDT. Late on Friday night, Judge Anthony Kelly, who squashed his first cancellation of the controversial tennis player's visa earlier this week, transferred the case to the Federal Court of Australia.

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke cancelled the Serb's visa, citing it was on the grounds of"health and good order", the basis of"public interest" and"protecting Australia's border. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Martin Ollman "Given the extraordinary situation my client finds himself in, every minute that we have is precious. There are delays and perhaps unnecessarily so," he said on Friday night.

According to Morrison Govt: Novak’s anti-vax views are dangerous - Hypocrisy Much- The Liberal-National’s own George Christensen can spread as many COVID conspiracies as he likes

Paedophile's, Human Traffickers and Terrorist Welcome, UnVaccinated are not... What a time in History to witness...

Is ND running this country? If so acting like a dictator.

Who is who in this country? We cant win anything on court, we are penalised for our essential human rights who cares? we paying court costs unreasonable, we are accused for vexatious of proceeding,NO job if NOT JAB, and look that case, that team leafing into our faces

The Judge(s) should read the mood of Australian public in making decision this time. We knew Judge Kelly took side, he was biased. Now give us a break. Kick this rabbit out of the paddock. Enough is enough.

Embarrassed to be an Australian, we've turned into a nation of thumb sucking bed wetters all over a glorified common cold.

Morrison government desperate distraction tactic with help of MurdochGutterMedia . What about Hillsong party, lack of RATs kits, food and grocery supply, hospital staff over worked and over whelmed?

Just go home Novak while u still have some dignity left...and need to learn the rules next time.

Privelidge, fame and money gets you a specially convened urgent Friday late night hearing in the Federal Court. Joe Citizen says hold my beer.

Its because of the our hospitals staff are too busy promoting vaccinations to deal with the influx of sick people! LOL

👍

We Australian's are sacrificing still after 2yrs. We have one of the best cases, hospitalizations & deaths in the world. Australian people did this by abiding by rules and laws. So should all that arrive in this country.

refugees are stuck in the same hotel for 9 years. where are the freedom worriers!?

To all the anti vaxxer clowns who said we lost our freedom, I think this case proves we haven’t. If there was lost freedom, Novisa wouldn’t have a right to appeal. But yeah, keep spinning misinformation

Oh just go

How does he manage to get late night hearing, the police can't even get a search warrant.

Are the reasons for cancellation actually in the boarder force regulations?

I'm with Kevin Rudd on this. This has been an engineered political distraction from day one. Fuck Morrisons giant pandemic clusterfuck. Lets all talk about tennis! WAKE UP PPL. The LNP and the MSM are once again treating us as if we're complete idiots.

Covid safe Serbian army heading down under...🇷🇸💪🤣

Its simple people who are unvaccinated are not allowed into Tennis. So stop him from entering the Tennis.

Oh for the love of God...just put him on the plane. Anyone else would have been long gone!

Djokovich arrogant much? I enjoy watching him play tennis but I hate his elitist attitude. Sorry, but you’re not above the rules, sir.

Detained healty negative to Covid Djoko, very nice country you have there!

Riots happened before and Djokovic did not take the opportunity to write a tweet to calm his followers. Does this inaction fall under the “health and good order” of Australia (as per the minister’s revocation)?

The Djokovic saga just shows how much the government hates the unvaccinated… not because we’re a “risk to health”, but because we won’t bow to them.

ffs a judge already made a call

No 'further comment at this time': Scott Morrison questioned over Novak Djokovic sagaPrime Minister Scott Morrison refused to be drawn on the Novak Djokovic saga as the men's tennis world number one still awaits a decision on whether his visa will be cancelled.
