“Tennis Australia respects the decision of the country's Federal Court. According to the rules of the Grand Slam tournament, the lucky loser will take the first position in the grid. We are looking forward to a competitive and exciting tournament. Good luck to all players,” the organization said in a statement.
On January 16, 2022, the court ruled to deport the first racket of the world from Australia.
Initially, Djokovic's visa was revoked on January 6 at Melbourne Airport immediately after his arrival.
The reason was the lack of vaccination against coronavirus.
The Serb tried to enter the country under a medical exception.
Subsequently, the tennis player's lawyers filed an appeal, which was granted, but later the visa was revoked a second time.
Earlier, the ATP spoke about the deportation of Djokovic.
