So he's been included in the draw for next week. It's not going to be cancelled now is it. It'd be more embarrassing for the Australian government than before.

I think people are pissed because..

1. He got the infection and spent time with kids and/or doing an interview immediately (Was it responsible behaviour from someone who knew his actions are scrutinised on an international stage?)
2. He lied about his travels on an international visa application (Tell me what would happen to Mr and Mrs John Doe if they had lied on their application)
3. He purposefully floundered the entry regulation to a foreign land (Same question about Mr and Mrs John Doe)
4. Not to mention, he allegedly lied about his test results (We dont know what really happened here)
5. Also, as a followup to 1 and 2, his travel to Spain is in scrutiny

Please correct me if I have misled something.

Yep - all fair points. Now even I don't want to see him being allowed to compete. Evidence points to him just taking the piss on multiple levels

Djokovic has always been a prick, even before being an anti-vaxxer/covid-denier. Now we just have it in writing. There shouldn't be a slight hesitation in sending him home.

I would like to say more about his miraculous "gluten-free" diet but it would get deleted.

Does anyone think he actually never had covid in December? Because I strongly believe that he and the Serbian authorities cooked up a bogus positive test to give him the cover that he needed for a medical exemption.

Plus, he can change water molecules with his mind, so it's not like he can't swat the covid particles away like Keanu in the first Matrix movie.

I think you're being unfair on this point. Early last year I found out I needed a gluten free diet. When I started it I was a bit out of shape, struggled with exercise etc - and now I'm the most successful tennis player of all time and able to play 4 5 set games in a week without breaking sweat. All because I eat a little less flour.

Better than Borg or McEnroe?

behave.

I mean, unless you are trolling with the McEnroe name, than yes?  For me it's Nadal or him.  Best player doesn't mean most stylish, enjoyable to watch etc.  Borg I could hear arguments for if he had won more than 2 of the Slams, but McEnroe? lol no.

Federer was a more stylish player, but more of his GSes came against much weaker opposition - 2009 was the first year Nadal was good enough to win a Slam outside of Roland Garos, and Djoko had only got 1 Aussie open at that time, and his next GS was 2011 - by 2009 Federer had won 15 of his GS.  Or to put it another way - once Nadal had discovered (and developed his game) to be able to play on surfaces other than Clay, and Djoko had peeked his head over the parapet to win his first, Fed won 5 more Slams in total, and only 1 of them was against Nadal/Djoko.  And it's not like he was too old either - in 2009 he turned 28.

Best grass = Federer
Best clay = Nadal
Best hardcourt = Djokovic

It gets much more complicated if you try and compare the three disciplines, however. Björn Borg had a very short career but he's up there with them considering how he obliterated the French Open and Wimbledon year after year in the 70's but besides that there ain't much left.

I'd agree with that. I think you have to include the likes of Sampras, and Laver along with Borg in the best ever. I hate this GOAT argument, there are too many variables to consider one player better than any other. Surfaces, technology, injuries and competition standards all are just a small part of the discussion.

Lets all remember Lleyton bloody Hewitt won two Grand Slams, and no one would ever consider him among the best we've seen.

Oh he'll definitely appeal but I'm not sure what it would be based on. He didn't meet the requirements for his visa and lied on his travel documents. However as proved before, being rich and famous often means laws don't always apply.

He'll lodge an appeal first thing Monday morning with him probably scheduled to play PM. The judge will defer a decision until after the tournament which means he'll get to play and probably win.

Knowing the ScoMo and his team this was done late to make it look like they made the 'tough' call and it was the courts that allowed him to stay. Politics at its best with the election a few months away.

As things stand now, border security are compelled to find him wherever he is right now and put him into an immigration detention centre. He's also up for a 3 year ban.

If he was smart he'd go ASAP and make Australia look like the bastards. Stay, win the tournament and then lose the case would make him look selfish and probably mean the title would be taken off him as he wasn't legally qualified to be participant.
