Novak Djokovic says he has been given "positive signs" that he will be allowed to enter Australia and compete in the Australian Open in January despite being under a three-year visa ban. The Serbian, whose ban was imposed along with his deportation for his potential to cause "civil unrest" as a "talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment", said these indications were on an 'unofficial' basis. The nine-times Open champion added that he should have confirmation in 'the next few weeks' of whether he will be allowed in.
