I am pleased and grateful that the judge overturned my visa cancellation. Despite all that has happened I want to stay and compete at the Australian Open. I remain focused on that. I flew here to play at one of the most important events in front of the amazing fans. For now I can not say more but thank you all for standing with me through all this and encouragingg me to stay strong.
Djokovic will be hoping to win the grand slam for a record 10th time and also getting himself to win his 21st grand slam title, surpassing both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal who are both on 20 grand slam titles.
