Novak Djokovic will begin his bid for a 10th Australian Open title at the Adelaide International, organisers said Wednesday, after the Serbian was granted a visa to enter the country.
The world number five missed the opening Grand Slam of 2022 when he was deported over his vaccine status after a high-stakes legal battle.
Australia has since lifted the requirement for visitors to show proof of Covid vaccination, and his three-year ban was overturned by the government in November. Djokovic said at the time it was a “a relief”.
“The Australian Open has been my most successful Grand Slam.” he added. “I made some of the best memories there.” Djokovic will face a strong field from January 1-8 that also features Felix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev, ranked six, seven and eight, respectively, along with two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.
