The president of Tennis Australia says a review into the preparation of the Australian Open will take place following Novak Djokovic's deportation.
In a statement issued by Tennis Australia, president Jayne Hrdlicka said board members "deeply regret" the events of the past fortnight.
Djokovic, the world's number one men's tennis player, twice had his visa cancelled in the lead-up to the first grand slam of the year.
In the statement, Ms Hrdlicka said Tennis Australia respected the decision of Immigration Minister Alex Hawke, who cancelled the Serbian's visa, and the decision of the Federal Court which also rejected Djokovic's last attempt to stay in the country.
"Tennis Australia has been working closely with both the Federal and Victorian government for the past year to deliver a COVID safe Australian Open for the players, staff, and fans," she said.
"As the Australian tennis family, we recognise that recent events have been a significant distraction for everyone, and we deeply regret the impact this had on all players.
The Australian Open has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic for the past two years, with international players requiring a two-week hotel quarantine period to be allowed to play in 2021.
Much of the focus in the lead-up to this year's grand slam was about Djokovic's participation.
In the statement, Ms Hrdlicka said the board praised the work of Tennis Australia chief executive Craig Tiley and the team that organised the tournament.
"Embarking on a major international sporting event during a global pandemic that continues to evolve and challenge us all is profoundly demanding for all stakeholders," she said.
"The board and Member Associations commend the Tennis Australia CEO and the entire Tennis Australia team for their hard work and dedication to delivering a spectacular summer of tennis."
