Novak Djokovic

If he has citizenship you should be able to get in but have to fill in a form for “exemption”

I wish the Australian government would have him deported. He lied on his application - couldn’t have forgotten the trip to Spain - and once someone is caught telling a lie people wonder about other statements they have made. Such as having a positive covid test on 16 December.

Oh yes. It's a big no to him from me! What a nerve. What a bad example.

Thanks Lucca.

It's a big no from me too Aveline. He's a liar and has nothing to commend him when it comes to being a positive ambassador for the game.

He’s actually a terrible role model for youngsters. He thinks rules don’t apply to him, and he lies to get what he wants. A good sportsman, I don’t know so!

I think ND is arrogant and not a sportsman . Thank heavens we have Rafa Nadal and Federer when he returns, who are tennis players for youngsters to look up to.

He's a cocky, arrogant, big headed little s**t and I fervently hope that he'll either be deported from Australia or, if he's allowed to compete, that he loses his game. He's no sportsman and doesn't deserve to win. Ever.

Has anyone else seen his fathers letter to the press,saying he(novak) was being held hostage and that he's the Spartacus of the new world amongst a load of other nonsense ,this wont gain him any respect from all the players who DO follow the rules or many other folk either

..

His mother says ‘ he isn’t a politician, he’s a tennis player’. But he uses his fame to spout his anti vacc nonsense. This, from someone who lives in a country that already has vaccine hesitancy. Perhaps if he didn’t have this maverick attitude towards the virus the Australian government would give him the benefit of the doubt regarding the irregularities in his so called exemption. Australia is depending on vaccine uptake to protect its inhabitants from the virus.

His mother is right, he's a tennis player, a very gifted tennis player who isn't above the law, even though he seems to think that he is.

IMO he's an embarrassment to the game and to his country and if he were my son, I'd be ashamed of him.

Me too.

So would I. Now blaming his admin staff for making an error about the trip to Spain on the visa application (which I assume he signed) and it seems his declaration under oath contains a lie about the date of the alleged positive test. Despicable.

Did any of you see the Oz Newscaster who thought her microphone was turned off say to her Co presenter ‘ND is a lying ar**hole’? Well I thought it was very funny and I agreed with her.

I posted a link to that up thread

There

Their mikes were off, just somebody filming them.

Oops! Echoing what many people are thinking though!

Lucca, thanks for the clip!

It now appears as though the Spanish authorities are looking into whether he entered Spain illegally as since September 20, citizens from Serbia need a vaccine certificate OR a special exemption to enter Spanish territory but so far the authorities say they did not receive any request from Djokovic.

Word here is that he will be deported today. I'm not so sure. I think Australia will be dammed if we do and dammed if we don't. Monumental stuff ups by various people/authorities have made a complete shambles of the matter. If he is deported he will not be allowed back to Australia for up to 3 years. I see a legal fight coming on regarding loss of income from ND against the Australian Government.

Maybe he will now realise that his decision not to be vaccinated, which he is entitled to, does have consequences - even for him.

Thanks Lucca.

I feel most angry about him, as a high profile figure, spouting his anti-vax nonsense which he knows is likely to influence others and put their lives at risk. By all means make this decision not to have the vaccination, but keep your gob shut.

I think Australia will go up in the world’s opinion if only they have the guts to deport him.

I wish they would hurry up and do it and I hope he gets trouble from Spain too.
