Australia says it will neither be a straightforward nor easy process for tennis number one Novak Djokovic to return to Australia after his visa was cancelled.

Under Australia's Migration Act, Djokovic can't be granted a visa for three years, unless there are "exceptional circumstances."

Sky News quoted Australia's Home Affairs minister Karen Andrews as saying that the ban can be waived (放棄) in the future, but that was -- in her words -- "a matter for some time in the future."

The country's Federal Court dismissed the tennis star's legal argument that cancelling the visa was “irrational or legally unreasonable".

Djokovic left Melbourne on a flight to Spain late on Sunday night.
