Earlier this year, when he was detained and finally deported from Australia, Djokovic faced what is arguably the most challenging time of his life.

The world number one tennis player was banned earlier this year from entering Australia for three years after his visa cancellation was upheld.

The three-year entry ban on Djokovic is about to be lifted, according to Australian media over the weekend.

Djokovic expressed hope that Australia would lift the ban so that he could compete at the Australian Open in January during Wimbledon.

Many believed that Djokovic would never play in Australia again after he was banned from the country. Djokovic, however, has no hard feelings toward Australia.

"I had a lot of beautiful moments there. I want to come back to Australia in the future and to play on Rod Laver Arena again," Djokovic said earlier this year.
