As Djokovic, 34, hopes to secure his 10th Australian Open title, his first-round match against Kecmanovic and the happenings of the Grand Slam tournament are not his only concern while staying in the Victoria capital city of Melbourne.
As of this article's publication, the Serbian tennis player is awaiting a decision from Alex Hawke, Australia's Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, regarding the former's visa.
It remains possible that the 34-year-old's visa may again be canceled, resulting in an up to 3-year ban from the country. The decision has reportedly been delayed due to concerns of international law violations.
