Novak Djokovic has landed Down Under as he steps up his Australian Open plans almost a year after being deported on the eve of the 2022 tournament.
The Serbian tennis legend's deportation from Australia in January was a global story that transcended sport. Djokovic was detained upon his arrival in the country over his refusal to be vaccinated against Covid amid strict pandemic restrictions.
And the 35-year-old was handed an automatic three-year visa ban and kicked out of Australia the night before the Grand Slam began after unanimously losing a court appeal.
