as per a court-ordered arrangement decided Friday heard by CNN in open court.

Djokovic is accused of providing false information on his Australian visa declaration, specifically that he hadn't traveled in the 14 days before his arrival in the country.

Djokovic's lawyers are appealing the decision and his case to stay in Australia will be heard on Saturday before the country's Federal Court following an emergency hearing before judge Anthony Kelly in the Federal Circuit and Family Court on Friday.

If Djokovic's bid fails, he could be deported.

What a damn mess.

He has no dignity either; he should have left when this crap started. Very disappointed in the Australian government.

I can’t be disappointed in him because he’s a fucking asshole.

Such an arsehole.

he continued to travel and mingle with folks (including children) 'maskless'' after testing positive.
Arsehole is a compliment. He is a reckless, arrogant, thoughtless scumbag who thinks rules don't apply to him.
