Tennis world number one Novak Djokovic readied his legal guns Sunday for a battle to stay in Melbourne and defend his Australian Open title, arguing he has the all-clear because of a positive coronavirus test in December.

[FILE] Novak Djokovic is currently kept at a quarantine facility after being denied entry into Australia.

In an order released to the public Sunday, Judge Anthony Kelly said the case will go ahead as scheduled at 10:00 am Monday , refusing a government request to adjourn until Wednesday. – ‘Incommunicado’ -Australia’s government, however, insists a recent coronavirus infection only counts as an exemption for residents, not for foreign nationals trying to enter the country.

Djokovic had also attended another gathering on December 16, when the Serbian national postal service launched a series of stamps in his honour. Since being moved into the Park Hotel detention centre, his pleas to be moved to another facility where he can train for the Australian Open have fallen on deaf ears, the lawyers said.
