MELBOURNE, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Tennis world number one Novak Djokovic will play his Australian Open first round match against fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic in the evening session on Monday at Rod Laver Arena, organisers said, pending a court decision.
Defending champion Djokovic is appealing the cancellation of his visa by Australia's Immigration Minister Alex Hawke at the Federal Court, which may release a decision later on Sunday as to whether the Serb can remain in the country.
