The Novak Djokovic saga looks likely to go to a fifth set despite the tennis star’s court win on Monday.
The tennis star left an immigration detention hotel after his Australian visa cancellation was overturned and this is what the man himself had to say on Twitter.
I’m pleased and grateful that the Judge overturned my visa cancellation. Despite all that has happened,I want to stay and try to compete @AustralianOpen
I remain focused on that. I flew here to play at one of the most important events we have in front of the amazing fans.pic.twitter.com/iJVbMfQ037

But it’s not over until it’s over, and Australia’s immigration minister still has the power to precancel the visa and deport the unvaccinated player (which would probably lead to yet another appeal by Djokovic and his team).
While we wait to find out what happens next, enjoy these 9 funniest things Australians have had to say about the whole thing so far.
