Tennis star Novak Djokovic has boarded a plane for Dubai after an Australian court upheld a decision to cancel his visa.
He says he is “extremely disappointed” with the decision but will respect the ruling.
Djokovic had appealed to the Federal Court after the immigration minister revoked his visa for a second time.
The government argued his presence would fuel anti-vaccine sentiment.
Al Jazeera's Sarah Clarke has more from Brisbane.
