Djokovic To Be Released From Detention

An Australian judge has reinstated tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa and ruled that he be released from immigration detention. <br />Judge Anthony Kelly ordered that Djokovic be released within 30 minutes and his passport and other travel documents returned to him, rekindling the world number one’s chance to win a record 21st Grand Slam title at the upcoming Australian Open. <br />Lawyers for the federal government told the court the country’s immigration minister was reserving the right to exercise his personal power to again revoke Djokovic’s visa. <br />Judge Kelly noted that Djokovic had provided officials at Melbourne’s airport with a medical exemption given him by Tennis Australia, which is organising the tournament, and two medical panels.
