Novak Djokovic confirmed he will play at next year's Australian Open, saying he was "very happy" his visa ban had been overturned.
The Serb, a nine-time champion, was deported before this year's event after his visa was cancelled in a row over his Covid vaccine status.
He was automatically banned for three years from entering Australia, but on Tuesday learnt a visa would be granted.
"I could not receive better news," the 21-time Grand Slam champion said.
Speaking to reporters at the ATP Finals in Turin after reaching the semi-finals, the former world number one added: "It was a relief obviously knowing what I and people closest to me in my life have been through this year with what happened in Australia and post Australia obviously.
