I'm watching this Cam Williams livestream on youtube (he's based in Melbourne) and it sounds like they're making arrangements to send Novak back to Serbia tonight (i.e. they're not going to let him into the country).

What a gong show on all levels lol. I wonder if Novak ever plays in Australia again or he goes F it for how this all went down. Could have been handled so much easier.

Novak: I don't have a vaccine can I play?
AO: No

End scene

Some speculation that he might save been able to slip in quietly if he didn’t triumphantly post about his exemption. But he couldn’t do it that way cause then people might think he got the Death Jabs.

I haven’t laughed this hard since the last time the Oilers horribly crapped the bed…so almost 46 hours

I would hope France follows suit and bans unvaccinated players as well. I doubt the US Open would do this, but this would be absolutely amazing if he never plays another major and is unable to capture the all time record due to his own stupidity and selfishness.

Speculation is swirling that Novak can re-do his paperwork and re-apply for a new visa to enter Australia. It wouldn't make much sense to fly all the way back to Europe, maybe Abu Dhabi?

Medvedev is now the betting favorite to win the AO on the men's side.

Wow. I'm really shocked the Aussies walked this back. Good on them.

Dan Evans wins in straight sets over John Isner which is good news for Team Canada. Now we need Norrie to be victorious over Fritz.

If England wins then Germany is eliminated (I think). Have to figure they don't go as hard later tonight with nothing to play for.

Fritz wins in three sets over Norrie which means the doubles will decide the winner between the States and GBR.

This is amazing. Banning him from the Aussie open was the right call, but letting him fly all the way to Oz and then banning him is epic!!

Novax nogo!

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

GBR comes back from a set and a break down to defeat the States in doubles which opens the door for Canada to advance. They need to beat the Germans to make the semi-finals.
