“At the moment I can’t say more than that but thank you all for standing with me through all of this and encouraging me to stay strong.”
The player’s family said his release was the “biggest victory of his life”.
“Novak is free and a moment ago he went to the tennis court to train,” Djokovic’s brother, Djokovic, told a news conference in Belgrade.
“He’s there to set another record. He’s an athlete and the best tennis player in the world of all time. Novak has always championed freedom of choice, nothing more. Djokovic’s family is happy that justice has been done.”
