The family of Novak Djokovic<\/a> said on Monday they were ”grateful” for the Australian<\/a> justice system after the Serbian<\/a> won a court battle to stay in the country to contest the Australian<\/a> Open, though the drama might not be finished, with the government threatening to cancel his visa a second time. Federal Circuit Court<\/a> Judge Anthony Kelly<\/a> reinstated Djokovic’s visa, which was canceled after his arrival last week because officials decided he didn’t meet the criteria for an exemption to an entry requirement that all non-citizens be fully vaccinated. The judge also ordered the government to release Djokovic<\/a> within 30 minutes from a Melbourne<\/a> quarantine hotel where he has spent the last four nights.<\/p>\n Speaking in Serbia<\/a> following the verdict, Djokovic’s brother, Djordje<\/a>, said the family had been up all night watching the case.<\/p>\n ”We’re grateful for the justice system of Australia<\/a>, and I’m sure that, you know, justice will go on and the truth will, you know, be truthful all the way,” he said during a briefing in Belgrade.<\/p>\n Despite the verdict Australian<\/a> government lawyer Christopher Tran<\/a> told the judge after the ruling that the minister for Immigration<\/a>, Citizenship<\/a>, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs<\/a>, Alex Hawke<\/a>, \u201cwill consider whether to exercise a personal power of cancellation.\u201d That would mean Djokovic<\/a> could again face deportation and could miss the Australian<\/a> Open, which starts on January 17.<\/p>\n
