NoVax Djokovic

[StillSpike]

What a tw*t.

Imagine trashing your own image like that. He should simply have withdrawn from the tournament as soon as it became clear that he'd not be able to get in without the vaccine, rather than stupidly trying to get around it. He could have gone for his next grand slam later in the year and all would have been fine. Now he's brought on trouble in Serbia and Spain, probably got banned from Australia for 3 years, and everyone thinks he's an idiot.

Can I just say that I thought he was an idiot prior to his latest outburst of what can only be described as imbecillic idiocy.

Not only can you say it - you should say it. You are a shrewd judge of stupid twattery (I suspect that's down to your years of service here)

I agree Djokovic is messing with the australian government.
It is a lose lose for them if they dont deport and ban him they look weak and their stance on entry to australia is shown up.
But at the risk of devaluing the australian open and the money and prestige of holding such an even.

I disagree about the devaluing event. Sponsors dislike non-conformity. Mass appeal is what they want - and Novax lessens his appeal by the stance. He's devaluing himself.

As for the government, they have been caught short and I suspect that many other governments have learned from this and will legislate to protect their borders. It will probably make entering countries when not jabbed harder as opposed to easier.

Australia was like this before covid have you ever seen thay show where they stop people coming into the country. It is a form of entertainment for them we had similar shows here and they wernt so grusome.
Plus rich people will find ways to circumvent anything if they want it.
I would.

[The Mindsweep]

His new mate Farage will be fuming

England cricket team wanted to be on the same flight home as Novac

His new mate Farage will be fuming

They deserve each other, mindless morons.

no-one comes out of this well Novak, Tennis Australia or their government. It should have all been sorted out before he even got on a plane.

I doubt the governments stance has anything to do with the looming election.

[Adz]

I'm amazed so many people give a sh*t either way

[greyhound]

apparently if he still refuses to be vaccinated
he could face bans in other tournaments.
only himself to blame.

[StillSpike]

Quite a good "return of Serb", as it were.

So you think it’s wrong for a Government to take a decision that they believe the majority support?

[SvenO]

Not sure why they just couldn't tell him he needed a vacine to enter the country in the 1st place and he is mostly putting himself at risk not taking it. There is no proof saying the vacine stops you catching covid.

Not to worry, he has got Wimbledon, we will let him in......

Will he get loads of grief or are the Wimbledon crowds too polite?

[SvenO]

Idk it would be easier to just get a vacine, gotta respect him standing up for his convictions a little.

I’ve not been following this case closely because, to be quite honest, I couldn’t give two shits about it but didn’t the government tell him to get a vaccine but he lied that he didn’t need one?

Not sure why we need to make big examples of people just to scare a few germaphobes who are already teriffied. People will do as they do and most are waiting for all this to stop.

[SvenO]

Now the tournament winner is the best player except Djokovic.

Suspect I wasn't alone in thinking the timing of the tests were somewhat convenient:

What a fraud

Nadal into the Final
20 & counting
This will really hurt Novax if Nadal wins
