Djokovic’s lawyers had revealed his medical exemption had been granted as he had tested positive for COVID-19 in December last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Djokovic was held up by the Australian border officials at the Melbourne airport last week where he was told he did not meet the criteria for medical exemption before being sent into detention. The world no.1 tennis player was quick to assemble his team and take up the legal route in a bid to ensure he gets to take part in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Djokovic has spent five days in detention in Melbourne after his visa was revoked by the authorities last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a shock defeat for the Australian government in the case on Monday after judge Kelly ordered Djokovic to be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his release, immigration minister Alex Hawke is eligible to reverse the decision at any time, which could result in the player being banned from the country for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“I’m instructed (the minister) will consider whether to exercise a personal power of cancellation,” AFP reported quoting Hawke as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(With inputs from agencies)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic\u00a0has finally been given the right to feature at the\u00a0Australian Open\u00a0after having his visa approved by the Australian government.
