Novak Djokovic has been detained in Australia ahead of a court hearing that will determine whether the unvaccinated tennis star can stay in the country. He faces deportation after his visa was cancelled for a second time, with the government labelling the 34-year-old a threat to public health. His lawyers are appealing against what they called an "irrational" judgement, with the hearing set for Sunday.
