The draw for the Australian Open has been postponed until further notice due to uncertainty over Novak Djokovic’s participation in the tournament, organizers said on Jan. 13.

The draw will begin at 3pm local time (0400GMT), but after a brief delay, an event staffer told reporters outside the media conference that the draw would not go ahead.

Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is considering exercising his discretion to revoke Djokovic’s visa, which could derail the Serbian superstar’s record 21st Grand Slam tennis title and 10th at Melbourne Park A championship bid.
