Like it or not vaccine hesitancy is quite prolific in many parts of the world, if you're hosting one of only four majors then you can't exclude a big chunk of the global population from participating

Letting him get to Melbourne and then cancelling the visa is a total farce as well

that's standard practice in australia, there is a tv series about the border force and they are very strict and cancelled peoples visas regularly on arrival, and that was before the pandemic

It's their country, they can do what they want

I used to like watching those shows. I liked the Canadian one best though.

He is now in a Holding Hotel.
Trying to claim he has a Legit reason for not having the Vaccine?


His reason so far, does not count.


People in Australia
have been Fined
for not being vaxxed.

until Monday.

On Monday, his case will go to court.

Default Nadal weighs in



'The world has been suffering enough. Get vaccinated. If he wanted, he would
playing here in Australia without problems,' the world number six said.

'I went through COVID. I have been vaccinated twice. If you do this, you don't
have any problem to play here. That's the only clear thing.

'The rest of the things, I don't want to have or to give to you an opinion that I
don't have the whole information.

'The only for me clear thing is if you are vaccinated, you can play in the
Australian Open and everywhere, and the world in my opinion has been
suffering enough to not follow the rules.'

mobilising the lawyers just reinforces the view that he is a self entitled arse hole. Ultimately, australia has the sovereign right to refuse anyone entry to their country on whatever grounds they feel like

This is a fair point.

I personally can't stand Australia's extreme stance, but it is their country and Djokovic has no right to try and dictate to them to let him in the country unvaccinated if they don't feel comfortable with him being there because of that.

but fake australia aren't like other countries

Why should he be above the law of the country
He has/had the choice and decided against it.
He may be a fantastic tennis player but that doesn’t put him above the law of the land.

Tbh he shouldn't have turned up to that loopy hell hole if he weren't planning on getting Vaccinated.

No offence to any Australians btw, I'm referring to the Government making loopy laws rather than an attack on the regular people.

He's a great tennis talent no doubt.
However not above the rulings of other Nations he wishes to play in.

Perhaps however knowing his stance on this, he shouldn't have been permitted to travel to Australia in the first place.

The Locals in Melbourne
are angry
as they are Vaxxed
and have had strong Lockdowns.


The PM has spoken
and with Elections in a few months,
he must Kick him out
