in the rod laver arena. what does this mean for the scheduling for the tournament, is everything going ahead on the basis that he will be there, even though we don't have this decision from the immigration minister? it is for now. that practice session was one that went ahead in full view of everybody. yesterday, it was very cloak and dagger, very secretive, nobody was allowed to watch. the screens around melbourne park were blanked out. there were no pictures from the rod laver arena and it was down to the channel 9 drone overhead that we got to see a picture of djokovic in action. but it must be very chaotic, i think, behind the scenes at tennis australia, that theyjust don't quite know what the situation is. the verdict from the minister could come before the draw at 3pm tomorrow but if it doesn't, novak djokovic will take his place in the draw as the defending champion and the number one seed. he'll be drawn again somebody but we won't know for sure if the match will take place or not.
