Novak Djokovic faces the risk of being barred from re-entering Australia for three years if his bid to overturn his cancelled visa fails.
Djokovic was transported to a Melbourne hotel earlier today and could be sent back to Serbia within hours unless his lawyers can stop the deportation.
A Federal Court challenge is expected this afternoon.
Experts claim his bid to reverse the decision will likely collapse and could lead to him being locked out of the country for three years.
Professor of Public Law at University of Sydney, Mary Crock, was quoted by the NCA Newswire today, warning: "The law on this is very weighted in favour of the government of the day."Conversely, if you apply for the wrong visa, the discretion to be granted another visa at the point of entry is very limited.
"And if a visa has been cancelled, the consequences of that are very long term – both for Australia and any other country he enters, because you are always asked 'have you been deported or excluded'.
"If he's deported from Australia, there's a potential he could be excluded for three years."
Another option could be to send Djokovic home, allow him to amend his visa application then return to Melbourne.

Well, is it "a wrong visa" OR "an invalid medical exemption"?

Hasn't his medical exemption already been accepted by Vic Health Authorities?
