Novak Djokovic has successfully appealed against a decision to cancel his visa ahead of the Australian Open tennis.

The world number one, who is believed to be unvaccinated against Covid-19, understood he had been granted a medical exemption to compete in Melbourne.

His legal team told a court hearing the Serb entered the country on the understanding his quarantine exemption was valid.

A judge has now ruled the decision by border officials to revoke it was unreasonable.

Australia's immigration minister could still step in to cancel his visa again.
