Venus Williams wishes Novak Djokovic to win the 2022 Australian Open

As Novak Djokovic posted his first practice photo from the 2022 Australian Open, after the ordeal of staying in the immigration detention hotel due to a denied visa, tennis legend Venus Williams stepped out to publicly wish the ATP world No.1 success at the upcoming Grand Slam.

Upon arrival in Australia, Djokovic’s COVID-19 vaccine exemption documentation was deemed insufficient and he was not allowed to enter the country. After spending several days in harsh conditions of the immigration detention hotel, a judge overturned the visa cancellation and the Serbian tennis ace didn’t take long to hit the tennis courts in Melbourne.
