The world's number 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic announced through his verified Twitter account that he wants to stay and play the Australian Open, after a judge annulled the cancellation of his visa.
The Serbian left the Melbourne hotel where he was awaiting the court's decision and went to stay in a private house.
The moment of his departure from the hotel was marked by clashes between protesters and the police, who even used tear gas to disperse them.
