Tiley said the Serb would need to &quot;work out the situation&quot; with the Australian government.&quot;It's not a matter we can lobby on,&quot; Tiley said. &quot;Novak and the federal government need to work out the situation and then we'll follow any instruction after that.&quot; &quot;It's a matter that definitely stays between the two of them and then depending on the outcome of that we would welcome him to the Australian Open,&quot; he added.Djokovic flew to Australia earlier this year after being granted a medical exemption by Tennis Australia to compete at the Melbourne Major. However, things took a nasty turn for the Serb upon his arrival. After his visa was rejected by the Australian Border Force due to being unvaccinated against COVID-19, he was eventually deported from the country and was unable to defend his Australian Open crown. Djokovic has been banned from entering Australia for three years but is hoping to have the decision overturned.
