Dec 27 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic has arrived in Australia nearly a year after he was deported from the country, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Tuesday, ahead of his bid for a 10th men's singles title at next month's Australian Open. Djokovic landed in Adelaide where he is due to play in the Adelaide International beginning on Sunday, the report said. Earlier on Tuesday, Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley told reporters that Djokovic would be arriving in Australia and voiced hopes he would be welcomed. Djokovic's representatives and Tennis Australia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The 2023 Australian Open takes place at Melbourne Park from Jan. 16-29.
