Novak Djokovic's legal team will reportedly launch a new appeal immediately if Australian authorities try to deport him.
Djokovic's lawyers are set to launch an appeal if his visa gets revoked by Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke.
According to
The Age, Hawke is closely inspecting documents submitted by Djokvoic's team ahead of a legal reckoning which could allow the world No. 1 to defend his Australian Open title.
Reports claim that Hawke and the governing Liberal Party are currently attempting to cancel the Serb's visa.
Meanwhile, Australia's opposition Labour Party, has condemned Prime Minister Scott Morrison's handling of the affair.
"How is it that a... visa was granted in the first place?” Anthony Albanese said of the saga.
"This has been diabolical for Australia's reputation, just in terms of our competence here, and it is extraordinary that – as we are speaking – we still don’t know what the decision will be.
"The decision should have been made before he was granted a visa. Either he was eligible or he wasn’t."
