0:39Now PlayingSupporters of Novak Djokovic crowded around a car that was seen leaving the tennis star's lawyer's office in Melbourne on Monday, believing it carried the tennis player, but the Associated Press cannot independently confirm whether he was in the car.
In chaotic scenes, police trying to disperse the crowd appeared to use pepper spray against the gathered fans.
Djokovic won a court battle Monday to stay in Australia to contest the Australian Open despite being unvaccinated against COVID-19, but the government threatened to cancel his visa a second time.
Federal Circuit Court Judge Anthony Kelly reinstated Djokovic’s visa, which was canceled after his arrival last week because officials decided he didn’t meet the criteria for an exemption to an entry requirement that all non-citizens be fully vaccinated.
Government lawyer Christopher Tran told the judge after the ruling that the minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, Alex Hawke, “will consider whether to exercise a personal power of cancellation.”
That would mean Djokovic could again face deportation and could miss the Australian Open, which starts on January 17.
