As confirmed by ABC (Australia), Djokovic will be granted a visa (visa) to play in Australia to expand 2023. In addition to having a visa, the Serbian player is also removed from the entry ban on Australia within 3 years by the mouse migration minister.
In January 2021, Djokovic was expelled from Australia just before the first Grand Slam of the season because of refusing to vaccinate Covid-19. Nole is later banned from the country until 2025, and the visa requirements will also be rejected.
It is known that Djokovic's team of lawyers had to work hard for months to remove the visa ban. Even yesterday (November 14), the world's No. 1 shared that his lawyers were still waiting for feedback from the Australian government.
“Nothing is official. We are still waiting for notifications from lawyers. They are still contacting the Australian government. It is all I can tell you now,” Djokovic said after the victory in the opening match at ATP Finals 2022.
Earlier, Australian Tennis confirmed that they did not support Novak Djokovic during the cancellation of entry and visa ban. My executive director, Mr. Craig Tiley, said: “I talked to Novak in Laver Cup. He claimed to want to return to Australia. However, we know the final decision is the government. Novak accepts that. This is also their own story, we cannot interfere.”
In addition to Nole's story, Australian tennis also announced Russian and Belarus players will be allowed to play at Australian Open 2023 as neutral.
Thus, Novak Djokovic will have the opportunity to return to Melbourne to search for the 10th Australian title in its career. He is still the most achievement of the tournament of the tournament with 9 championships.
If he ascended the throne at Melbourne next year, Djokovic will also balance the achievement of 22 Grand Slam titles with Rafael Nadal. In this season, “the king of the yard” has become the most Grand Slam owners after winning the expanded Australian championship and the Roland Garros.
