MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Novak Djokovic has returned to the tennis court for training, having won a legal battle to stay in Australia and play in the Australian Open after his exemption from strict coronavirus vaccine rules was questioned. But the government is still threatening to cancel his visa and deport him.

The unvaccinated tennis star was released after being confined to an immigration hotel for four nights.

Djokovic wants to play in the Australian Open so he can try to break the men’s career record for most Grand Slam titles he currently shares with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
