Novak Djokovic was held for eight hours on arrival in Australia, mostly ‘incommunicado' his lawyers said on Saturday, three days into the tennis superstar's detention in a Melbourne facility.

"This occurred after he was in immigration clearance - for the most part incommunicado - for about eight hours, until just before 8:00 am on 06 January 2022," his lawyers said in a federal court submission seeking to overturn the cancellation of his visa.
