Nadal 'happy for Djokovic after Serb's visa ban gets overturned.

KARACHI -- Legendary Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal said he is happy for Novak Djokovic after the Serb was granted a visa to participate in the Australian Open.

Nadal has only one more Grand Slam title than Djokovic, who missed the Australian Open last year because of his anti-vaccine COVID-19 stance. He was deported by the immigration ministry, saying the issue could outbreak "public unrest" and received a three-year entry ban last year.

The Serbian, who holds the record for most Australian Open victories with nine, had his visa revoked and received a three-year entry ban last year as a result of a protracted court struggle regarding his entry to Australia.

Earlier on Wednesday, the prohibition was lifted by Immigration Minister Andrew Giles, allowing the player to participate in the Grand Slam.

Meanwhile, Djokovic's rival Nadal expressed delight that the authorities granted his foe the visa.
