Novak Djokovic will spend at least the next 72 hours in a Melbourne hotel before the next hearing in his appeal to overturn the Australian entry ban takes place on Monday.

The Serb is being held in a hotel room 5km north of Melbourne Park after authorities cancelled his visa when he arrived in Australia late on Wednesday.

At a hearing today, representatives for the Serbian champion and the Immigration Minister agreed that no action would be taken to deport the 20-time Grand Slam winner ahead of Monday's hearing in federal court.

The hearing will take place a week before the start of the 2022 Australian Open, a tournament in which Djokovic has won nine times, a record.

The judge, Anthony Kelly,
