Novak Djokovic has been included in the Australian Open draw, as the decision over whether the defending champion can stay in the country drags on.

He will play fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round – if he’s allowed to stay.

Djokovic is unvaccinated for Covid-19 and had his visa revoked when he arrived in Australia last week, following questions over the vaccine exemption that would have permitted him to enter.

Australia’s immigration minister Alex Hawke is still deciding whether to revoke his visa again and throw him out of the country.

Yesterday Djokovic admitted meeting a journalist in the days after testing positive for Covid, as well as there being mistakes on his immigration forms.
