"I am pleased and grateful that the Judge overturned my visa cancellation. Despite all that has happened in the past week, I want to stay and to try to compete at the Australian Open. I remain focused on that. I flew here to play at one of the most important events we have in front of the amazing fans. For now I cannot say more but THANK YOU for standing with me through all this and encouraging me to stay strong", Novak posted on social networks. Djokovic spent six days in immigration detention due to problems with his visa by local authorities.

He has won the Australian Open nine times. He will try to win his fourth consecutive title and go down in history as the player with the most Grand Slam trophies, if he wins 21st in his career in Melbourne.
