Novak Djokovic drawn against Miomir Kecmanovic at Australian Open amid visa uncertainty
CNN
The Australian Open draw took place after an unexplained delay of more than an hour on Thursday, with top seed Novak Djokovic facing fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.
Djokovic, looking to win his 10th Australian Open title in Melbourne this month, is waiting for Australia's immigration minister Alex Hawke to decide whether to revoke his reinstated visa ahead of the tournament.
The 34-year-old Djokovic had his visa canceled after entering Australia without a valid exemption for the country's vaccination requirements, but a judge ruled on Monday that he could stay.
