Novak Djokovic says he has been given 'positive signs' that he will be able to play the Australian Open in 2023 - despite being under a three-year visa ban from entering the country.
The unjabbed Serb arrived in Melbourne to play the tournament last January only to ultimately be deported due to his vaccination status.
Djokovic was kicked out for his potential to cause 'civil unrest' and his status as a 'talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment' - but claims these assertions were made on an 'unofficial' basis.
