World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has confirmed that he has heard about the election results in Australia and added that he is willing to return to the country in the future.

After Djokovic’s visa cancellation was upheld, he was handed a three-year ban from entering Australia.

Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was the driving force behind not allowing Djokovic to compete at the Australian Open but now he is gone.

This past week, Morrison conceded a defeat as Anthony Albanese is the new Australian Prime Minister.

“I heard the news about the Australian government changing, but I donā€™t know what it means for my visa being reinstated. I would love to go to Australia again, I hold no grudges,” Djokovic said, per Sasa Ozmo.

Djokovic captured his first Grand Slam title in Australia and he is a record nine-time Australian Open champion.

“I will always remember all the nice things that happened for me in Melbourne. I had a lot of professional and personal beautiful moments there. Despite all this, I have a great connection with Australia. Results that I had in Melbourne show you how I feel when I go there,” Djokovic said earlier this year. ā€œEverything that has happened this year was totally unexpected. It will be hard to forget, but I want to come back to Australia in the future and to play on Rod Laver Arena again.ā€

For the first time since 2018, there was a winner not named Djokovic at the Australian Open.

Watching Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final wasn’t easy for Djokovic.

ā€œIt wasnā€™t easy for me to watch the finals, I had to because of the circumstances at home, although I didnā€™t want to watch it. My wife and my son were watching. I didnā€™t see the whole match, we did other things around the house as well. I was neutral ā€“ whoever won, I lost, right? (laughing). I didnā€™t want to be emotionally involved too much, I wanted to be on the court,” Djokovic said.
