A criminal defence lawyer and former Bachelor contestant has spotted a glaring error in one of Novak Djokovic's legal documents. 

The tennis champion was freed from five days of immigration detention on Monday after his army of legal representatives fronted the Federal Court in Melbourne.  

Judge Anthony Kelly ordered freed the 34-year-old be freed from detention at the Park Hotel - sparking wild scenes on the city streets.

But while the world No.1 had a winning case, it wasn't foolproof - with closer inspection of an injunction submitted on behalf of by lawyers from firm Hall & Willcox showing his name was spelt incorrectly.

Under the section 'Filed on behalf of', the document spelt the tennis star's name Novak 'Djokovac'. 

Lawyer Belinda Crobinson posted a screenshot of the legal document on social media overnight. 

The reality TV star captioned the image: 'When u forget what your highest profile clients name is'.

The blunder comes as Djokovic is finally allowed to begin his Australian Open campaign, hitting the courts at Melbourne's Rod Laver overnight. 

Djokovic last night broke his silence over the Australian government's failed attempt to cancel his visa, saying he still wants to compete at the Australian Open next week.

Despite there being a four-hour window after Monday's ruling to make the controversial move it has since emerged that the minister could opt to use a different set of powers on Tuesday. 

Djokovic's visa for Australia was cancelled due to an apparent issue with his Covid vaccination exemption prompting five days of chaotic bureaucracy between the Australian federal government, the Victorian state government, the Serbian government and Tennis Australia. 

Judge Kelly quashed the decision to tear up Djokovic's visa and ordered that all his personal belongings be returned, saying: 'What more could this man have done?'
