I've not heard yet whether the Australian government will enforce the 3 year exclusion from entering Australia that usually applies for people whose visas are cancelled and are deported.

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews has confirmed Novak Djokovic is now subject to a three-year “exclusion” period from Australia.
...

Ms Andrews added that the exclusion “can be waived in compelling circumstances”.

“But that’s not a matter for today or tomorrow,” she told Sky News Australia.

“That’s a matter for some time in the future.”

Not sure:
Can Djokovic play Wimbledon?

The British government’s rules say unvaccinated visitors to the UK must take a Covid-19 test two days before travelling and then quarantine for 10 days upon arrival. They must also undergo PCR tests on days two and eight of that quarantine.

Quarantine exemptions are available on medical grounds but the Australian Financial Review reports it’s “unlikely” Djokovic would qualify for one. Being stuck inside for 10 days would severely hamper the Serb’s preparation for the third grand slam of the year.

Maybe a few liters of slivovitza is already on its way to the UK.

The only good news for Djokovic this week came from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who declared an end to his nation's "Plan B" COVID restrictions. This means that, unless Britain is plunged into another summer epidemic or the more conservative All England Club resurrects its 2021 biosecurity measures, visiting tennis players won't have to show a PCR test, much less proof of vaccination, to get to Wimbledon. This is the only grand slam where Djokovic, as things stand, still has a clear shot.
