On Monday, a judge in Melbourne ruled that tennis star Novak Djokovic should be released from detention, and the government's cancelation of his visa overruled.

Australia's immigration minister still has the power to cancel the visa, however, and is "currently considering the matter."

Djokovic's visa was canceled last week after authorities determined he did not qualify for a medical exemption from the rule that all arrivals to Australia must be vaccinated against Covid-19.

Djokovic returned to training on Monday night, his brother said, and wants to compete in the Australian Open.
