Novak Djokovic spoke out for the first time since he was ordered to be held in a Melbourne hotel over the cancellation of his visa a week before the start of the Australian Open.
"Thank you to people around the world for your continuous support. I can feel it and it is greatly appreciated," the 34-year-old tennis star wrote in an Instagram story.
He still didn't reveal his vaccination status, which has kept him from defending his title.
Australia's COVID-19 laws state that incoming travelers must have had two shots of an approved vaccine, or must have an exemption with a genuine medical reason, such as an acute condition, to avoid quarantine.
