World number 1 Novak Djokovic made a triumphant return to the court in his first match since he was denied entry into the Australian Open due to not being vaccinated against Covid-19.
The Serbian, playing competitively for the first time in 2022, beat Italian teenager Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Entrants to Dubai do not need to be vaccinated, so the 34-year-old was able to return to a tournament he has won five times.
