BREAKING: Novak Djokovic has arrived in Dubai after his deportation from Australia over its required COVID-19 vaccination ended the top-ranked tennis player’s hopes of defending his Australian Open title. It's unclear where he will travel next.

FILE - Defending men's champion Serbia's Novak Djokovic practices on Rod Laver Arena ahead of the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, Jan. 12, 2022. Djokovic’s hopes of playing at the Australian Open were set back Sunday after a court dismissed the top-ranked tennis star’s appeal against a deportation order.

The Emirates plane carrying Djokovic touched down after a 13 1/2-hour flight from Melbourne, where he had argued in court he should be allowed to stay in the country and compete in the tournament under a medical exemption due to a coronavirus infection last month.

You'll wear the mask.. but you won't get the jab? You're not setting a very good example to the Young tennis players coming up the ranks..

Novax DaKovid didn’t want to play, to play.

To the clinic for his vaccination so he can go back to being a big shot 😂🤦‍♀️

home maybe ?

DjokerNole Dubai airport arrival on video at my twitter account. Happy AusOpen to everyone and enjoy tennis finally 😀

He should probably travel home.

Who cares? Just saying, who cares? He is a pre Madonna DB. Rich, entitled and a contrary “anti guy”. It’s almost as boring as a good tennis match. He should run for congress in Virginia. They would probably fall for it…

Whooooooo cares! Enough with the entitled dude.

He tried to pull a scam on Australia's Government and Failed. They sent him packing and it's his own fault.

🚨 And Now This !!! Watch Out... You'll Put Your Eye Out... 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Oath Keepers... 🤣 Rupert 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Hey Australia, I'll definitely make sure to watch your fuckhole tournament without the best player in it.

Who cares!

No one really gives a shit. Move on.

Hah! Dubai is more free than Australia! 🤣

Why is where he is 'Breaking'?

If you have Covid visit DUBAI and stay in our great hotels :)

Bosnia

Mar-a-lago?

Hopefully not the US.

Actions=consequences

How about to the local pharmacy for a fucking shot?

BREAKING 🚨 Djokovic was last seen getting into a car with Schwarzenegger … Yeah, in of all places Dubai! 😃

And?

Who the eff cares?

His next stop should be his doctor's office to be vaccinated.

He should be reading up on France's vax policy

Breaking? Lol this isn’t even news

All he had to do was to get a simple shot

Treated like a commoner. How appalling

Maybe go back home to Serbia? What do you mean it's not clear?

I don't care where he goes.

He did his own research.

Have a nice way home Novak..🙏 By the comments , it's obvious either ppl are terribly misinformed about the vaccine effectiveness ( especially concerning O variant), or terribly idiots

Welp, it's UAE'S Problem if he plans to have an extended stay! Lol!

Australian should choose to cancel his visa.
