The judge granted the appeal of Djokovic and ordered the release of the tennis player within 30 minutes after the end of the meeting.

On January 5, Djokovic arrived in Melbourne to participate in the Australian Open, which will begin on January 17, but the Australian border guard detained the tennis player at the airport.

A Serb tried to enter the country on this type of visa, which does not allow for a medical exemption from coronavirus vaccination.

The Australian government canceled the athlete's visa and placed him on isolation pending trial.

Earlier Potapova reached the main draw of the tournament in Adelaide.
