  • A judge on Monday ordered the release of Novak Djokovic, detained in a detention center in Melbourne since January 6.

  • The visa of the world n ° 1, unvaccinated, had been canceled upon his arrival in Australia, although he had obtained an exemption from compulsory vaccination to enter the country on the grounds of a positive Covid-19 test on December 16 in Serbia.

  • This decision does not mean the end of the standoff between Djokovic and the Australian authorities.
