Here's what's happened with Djokovic over the past 24 hours, and here's what could happen next
From CNN's Hannah Ritchie in Melbourne, Australia
Novak Djokovic was detained by Australian border authorities on Saturday morning, as per a court-ordered arrangement decided Friday. The world's top-ranked men's tennis player, has had his visa revoked twice by immigration officials because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19.
What has happened: Djokovic's visa was revoked for the second time on Friday by Australia's immigration minister, Alex Hawke.
Hawke on Friday said that Novak Djokovic’s ongoing presence in Australia may lead to “increase in anti-vaccination sentiment” or even “civil unrest” as part of the reason of canceling his visa, court filings show.
Djokovic's legal team challenged the Friday ruling, and the case was transferred up the chain to Australia's Federal Court.
The Australian government agreed not to deport Djokovic over the weekend before his case has concluded.
Djokovic will spend Saturday night in pre-immigration detention while his case is debated in court.
Judge Anthony Kelly who presided over Friday's hearing, said Djokovic will be allowed to visit his lawyers' offices Saturday to prepare for his Sunday hearing, before eventually being moved back into pre-immigration detention, as required under Australian law.
What's to come: The court will hear detailed oral arguments in his case on Sunday.
If Djokovic's appeal is successful, that timetable would allow him to compete in the Australian Open on Monday.
Djokovic remains listed in the tournament draw and is due to face Miomir Kecmanovic.
