World tennis No. 1 Novak Djokovic has claimed a sensational “Round 1” court victory over the Australian government in his bid to remain in Australia.
But a “significant police presence” at the office of Djokovic’s lawyers amid reports authorities want to rearrest the Serbian star.
The Federal Court of Australia on Monday overturned the Commonwealth’s decision to cancel Djokovic’s visa on health grounds, ordering his release from immigration detention within 30 minutes of the decision.
Judge Anthony Kelly abruptly ended days of legal wrangling and overturned the cancellation of Djokovic’s visa, saying the move to cancel it was unreasonable.
It means the world No. 1 will be allowed to stay in Australia and have his passport returned to him.
Meanwhile, it is reported that there is a ‘significant police presence’ near Novak’s lawyers after star’s stunning visa battle win.
