Melbourne : After winning the VISA battle against the Australian government, tennis player Novak Djokovic expressed his gratitude and said, "I want to stay and try to compete in Australian Open."

"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," read Djokovic's tweet from Melbourne.

Meanwhile, his mother Dijana called his victory in winning the VISA is "the biggest victory in his career, bigger than all his grand slams".

In an emergency online court hearing, the judge ordered that the decision to cancel Djokovic's visa "be quashed".

He instructed that the 34-year-old men's world number one "be released immediately and forthwith from immigration detention".
