Novak Djokovic remains in the Australian Open draw as the decision over whether the defending champion can stay in the country drags on.

The nine-time champion has been drawn against fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic.

Britain’s US Open champion Emma Raducanu, seeded 17th, faces American world number 68 Sloane Stephens, the 2017 champion at the New York major.

The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the 2022 season and starts at Melbourne Park on Monday.

Top seed Djokovic, 34, practised again at Melbourne Park earlier on Thursday, with Australia’s immigration minister Alex Hawke still deciding whether to revoke his visa again and throw him out of the country.
