Novak Djokovic who probably awaits Monday, when the court hearing is scheduled could be sent back, could stay where he is, or might get to fight for his 21st Grand Slam title.

Basically, Djokovic's participation in this year's Australian Open does not simply depend on a win or a loss at court. 

Here are the possible outcomes after Monday's hearing:

If the court agrees and rules in favour of Djokovic, in that case, the shock visa cancellation would be negated. However, the Australian government, in turn, will likely appeal against the court's decision and World No. 1 will again be forced to stay in the detention center in Melbourne.

If the court disagrees with the 20 time Grand Slam winner's argument then he will immediately be ejected from Australia on the next flight. In this case, too, the Serb star's lawyers could end up filling an appeal against the ruling. Here, the judge can allow the appeal but he can not order the government to order a visa that allows Djoko to get out of the immigration detention center. 

In either case, it will be difficult for the 9 time Australian Open champion to appear in the event this year which is set to start in a week's time.
