Kazakhstan Tennis Federation, whose head personally invited Djokovic to participate in the tournament, published images of the Serbian athlete’s arrival at the airport on Instagram.

ATP 500 Astana Open starts today, October 3, and will run until the 9th. Djokovic is expected to step onto the court on October 4 for a match against Chilean player Cristian Garin.
