“I did spend some time with Novak at the Laver Cup. We spoke generally. He said that he’d obviously love to come back to Australia but he knows it’s going to be an ultimate decision for the federal government. Melbourne Park officials are preparing for a hike in the number of applications from foreign players and their support staff, and Tiley said TA had hired a “a third-party resource” to handle visas.
