The Tennis Thread

Djokovic has rapidly gone down in my estimation with all this.

Novak Djokovic pictured with young players the day after lawyers say he tested positive for COVID

A photograph taken by the Tennis Association of Serbia showed the world number one meeting with the youngsters but it is not clear if he knew he had coronavirus at the time.

Either he legitimately tested positive and he’s a selfish prick for continuing PR exercises knowing he should be isolating, or the result was faked purely to grant him the exemption he wanted to enter Australia.

Knob.

This.
Sorry fuck off Novak.
We have a simple rule. You wanna come in, be vaccinated.
Very fucking simple.
Any antivacs wanna argue?
I'm in the mood!

Andy Murray coming in with the slap down on Farage



Farage is the most despicable of human beings, maybe not the right thread but damn I can't stand farage

Novak has won his court case.
Now lets see what the Government does.

Do you know you can be pro-vaccine and anti-mandate?

Looks like they will deport him regardless



Getting very very messy now and Australia not handling this well at all. Gone completely political and nothing to do with health and safety now

Wow. Just wow...

If ever validation of people's fears and concerns over this case, and official handling of Covid were needed... Here it is on a plate

 

[DanielJohnCosta]

'Send him back to Serbia!"

I am no fan of Djokovic but this has been handled so badly by Australia, this guy is probably the greatest tennis player of all time, he has won this tournament 9 times and he is being treated like a common criminal, remember he hasn't done anything wrong as his lawyers have proved.

Andy Murray comments yesterday about it spot on too:

"I think everyone is shocked by it," said Murray, who will also play at the tournament, which starts on 17 January.

"I'm going to say two things on it just now. The first thing is that I hope that Novak is OK. I know him well, and I've always had a good relationship with him and I hope that he's OK.

"The second thing: it's really not good for tennis at all and I don't think it's good for anyone involved. I think it's really bad."

Regardless of my personal feelings on vaccination, this has been handled like a third world country.
Either he has a valid visa or he doesn't.
You cant issue the visa then change your mind.
I used to work in some capacity for this department and it really is a joke.
They change their minds like they change their clothes.
As the Judge said, "what more could the man do?"
Disgraceful.

what will happen to the other players who have a medical exemption due to not being vaccinated ?

Are there others?

I wouldn't be surprised.

Who?

This is only other one I have seen mentioned but my post in this thread on Thurs 6-Jan at 1:38 PM said there were 26 in total

Contrary to the above posts, Djokovic has NOT been arrested https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tenn...rested-in-melbourne-contrary-to-some-reports/

Also, is Djokovic ever going to address the following questions:-
1) Why was he attending public/PR events and hugging children the day after he supposedly tested positive for covid?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/no...-positive-exposed/A4PZO7YSYYULP5WLN53EGPBG3I/

2) The deadline for applying for medical exemptions to the Australian Open was 10th of December but Djokovic only tested positive for Covid on 16th December? Did he predict he was going to get it?!

Djokovic presser shortly, should be fun
