Novak Djokovic has been entered into the first tennis grand slam of 2022 even as doubts remain over whether he’ll be allowed to stay in Australia and compete.
The Australian Open number one seed will play fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in his first round match, according to results of the official draw Thursday. Just minutes prior to the draw, Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters that the decision on Djokovic’s visa was still an ongoing process and wouldn’t comment further.
