All I can say is that this is the person players want in charge of the new players union......good luck to them

This is disgusting and shameful by both Australian Tennis, Victoria health and Novak himself - someone is on the take here. I always thought Djokovic was a wanker before all of this, but now I thoroughly believe he's just a terrible human being. Enjoy always being thought of as the guy that was second fiddle regardless of what you achieve you loser.

I hope Australians and tennis fans alike make a huge stink about this as complete two tier garbage and boo him off the courts every match he plays.

I think it's poor form by Djokovic and every poorer form by Craig Tiley and the Victorian government officials to allow Novak to compete. As far as fans booing Novak, he's beloved down there, there might be a smattering of boos, but they will be drowned out by cheers.

Yeah. the Aussie fans suck. They cheer for Kyprios and Tomic!

I hope Novax breaks the majors titles. He would still be an afterthought after Federer and Nadal though and that will burn a hole in him.

Considering the 2 criteria to be deemed exempt in Australia is anaphylaxis from a previous vaccine, and severe immuno deficiency, I would say none of this will sit well with the average Australian or ATP players alike. Most of which will have far less freedoms in their own country than Novax will now enjoy while on his medically cleared sojourn down under.

If any of the above was actually a problem for Novax, there is no reason you would not share it with the world in order to support your cause. Not only is putting others involved with the event at risk, he's marginalizing vaccines.

I cannot wait for someone to cue up Kyrgios on this medical exemption and hear him go off.

Can you imagine if the 2022 Aussie Open final was Djokovic vs. Zverev?

I'd prefer Nadal vs Felix/Shapo

[dash_pinched]

Nails it.

Imagine if Wawrinka entered as a wild card and got Djokovic first round

[dash_pinched]

Reading this morning that Novak has been denied entry into Australia because he didn't have the correct visa for his medical exemption. Investigators have identified the person who denied Novak's visa.

[Nadal Fan]

To go off DPs top notch post it's suspected Djokovic is saying he had Covid in the past 6 months so that's the basis for his exception.

At any rate, enough about Djokovic. Plenty of good Canadian tennis stories to focus on including Leylah back in action against Iga Swiatek (what a match for the 2nd round) and Denis and Felix facing Struff and Zverev respectively.

Oh what a draw that would be! Forget the endless safety rallies that would be on display throughout the match. The mere idea of an antivaxxer squaring off against a sexual predator would be pure class all around.

For the first time ever, I might like the women's game more than the men's game this year.
The men's side is so uninteresting nowadays.

good. I'm sure his camp will be happy to play the victim card though.

They are certainly doing that but it is sweet justice nonetheless. The father seems like a complete lunatic - the apple never falls far from the tree does it.

“I have no idea what’s going on, they’re holding my son captive for five hours," the reported statement says. “This is a fight for the libertarian world, not just a fight for Novak, but a fight for the whole world! If they don’t let him go in half an hour, we will gather on the street, this is a fight for everyone.”

You mean a fight for you and all the entitled antivaxx scumbags Mr Djocovid? Go home you losers. Nobody wants you around.
