The world's reigning men's tennis champion Novak Djokovic is challenging the Australian government's decision to deport him.

The Serbian player -- who had a medical exemption from vaccination requirements -- is hoping to play in the Australian Open.

However, after detaining him for several hours at Melbourne airport authorities revoked his visa.
