Novak Djokovic returns to action at the Dubai Tennis Championships on Monday, his first tournament since being deported from Australia last month.
The world no1 had his visa cancelled on the eve of the first Grand Slam of the year over his Covid-19 vaccination status.
Djokovic has since confirmed he intends to stay unvaccinated, even if it means missing out on the biggest tournaments.
He plays wildcard Lorenzo Musetti in Dubai, the second time the pair have met on court. They faced each other in the fourth round of the French Open last year, with Djokovic coming from two sets behind to lead 6-7 6-7 6-1 6-0 4-0 when the Italian teenager retired with injury.
The Serbian revealed he has had a largely warm welcome from other players since his arrival.
He said: “Most of the players that I have met, all of them have received me well. I can’t say the same thing happened in Australia. It was all a bit weird there.”
Andy Murray is also in action in Dubai after receiving a wildcard into the main draw. He faces Australian Christopher O’Connell in the round of 32.
