Can’t say Opti and I didn’t warn you Novax fans. Australia doesn’t roll that way. And they left it until the last minute on a Friday afternoon knowing full well if he wants to appeal yet again nothing will be done before start of play on Monday.

They checkmated his arse and no matter how much his mommy cries he’s done.

Don't fukk with the Aussies. Some of the smartest folks on the planet and they kick ass in the Olympics too.


I'd love to see that smug Joker's face now. GTFOH. Maybe he can go play with Antonio Brown.

"Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected. This is what the Minister is doing in taking this action today."

Scott Morrison
Australian Prime Minister





Finally someone with the balls to tell these selfish pricks like Joker what it's all about. Sacrifice. We have American terrorist in our own country that are trying to tear the country down, kill other Americans and are not willing to sacrifice for the greater good. It took Australia to put these bitches like Novax (I'm using that Shari) in their place. Bravo.

[Steamroller]

Noboidy cares about AUS open anymore. Only losers left playing.

At least they didn't actually arrest him for the false v1sa declaration or the apparently faked test results.

I'm sure gamblers with big positions on anyone but Novak are very, very pro-vaccine right about now!

[jjgold]

He is out

Good move


Rules are rules

He wasn’t winning anyway the Russian and German got his number now

[shari91]

They’re still having the hearing and debating it for anyone bored enough to watch Search “federal circuit and family court of Australia”

They’re adjourned for the minute although it’s 10pm here

[jjgold]

Shari nobody cares if he plays or not

The guy is embarrassing himself now and career over mentally so he cannot win

[JacketFan81]

Career over? I bet he wins a minimum of 4 more majors before he hangs it up.

[StackinGreen]

I'd boycott that piece of dookie commie country and tournament forever.

[JacketFan81]

I'm far from a Novak fan.... But I won't watch a minute of this tournament out of principle. The Aussie govt turned this non-story into a story by reneging on their v I s a stamp. They could've just rejected it from the jump and been done with it. I wonder why the hesitation 🤔??

[SamsNCharge99]

out again but appealing again

Yes very smart by Hawke waiting until a friday.Knew exactly what they were doing.So now the draw is basically all fckd up too.Rublev moving up I heard?

Sorry but Novax turned this into a shit show by trying to game the system. He knew the rules but thought he was above the rules. He is a lying piece of shit scumbag.

Fukker made up shit and got busted. EVERYONE ELSE played by the rules. His legacy has taken a huge hit. He just became one of the most hated villains in sports. Sure, some of you worship him now but what does that say about you??

How has this ruined his legacy? Sure a segment of people will hate him but he's still going to be the GOAT.

[magpie878]

LOL ruined his legacy... I'm sure when in 20 years when people are talking about the greats, it'll be "yeah, but he didn't play the 22 Aus Open because of vaccine BS... he's nowhere near the top 50 ever"

[Mac4Lyfe]

He's a lying piece of shit. I can at least respect Kyrie Irving for standing up for what he believes in but Novax is foul. He purposely lied and tried to game the system like the dirtbag he really is. To pull off his fraud he had to include many other people like a thief planning a heist. 128 players followed the rules. Joker put himself above everyone and figured he was bigger then the game. One of the most selfish acts in all of sports. Hopefully he'll be banned from all future tennis events. He basically violated the public trust by being an asshole. I'm done watching him play and will boycott any product he's pushing. I'm already writing a letter to Asics. Fukk him.

Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Big Mac are all NOT in Cooperstown.


Hopefully the Australian government arrests him as a terrorist. "Lock him up, lock him up." LOL

[Mac4Lyfe]

You see this lying piece of shit, smug motherfukker. He purposely blamed his agent for lying on his travel declaration. Who the fukk would have their agent fill out that declaration? It is purposely given to the traveler and wouldn't he at least look it over before turning it in. That shit was deliberate. He takes no blame, he doesn't apologize, but his agent does. What a fukking dick. Then he blames it on human error because of challenging times. Then after he blames others he then says he won't comment anymore and he puts that on his respect for a country. What a liar. He has ZERO respect for anyone but himself.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"On the issue of my travel declaration, this was submitted by my support team on my behalf – as I told immigration officials on my arrival - and my agent sincerely apologises for the administrative mistake in ticking the incorrect box about my previous travel before coming to Australia.


This was a human error and certainly not deliberate. We are living in challenging times in a global pandemic and sometimes these mistakes can occur. Today, my team has provided additional information to the Australian Government to clarify this matter," Djokovic said in a statement.
Djokovic won't comment on the matter anymore

Djokovic felt the need to release the statement, explain himself, and he doesn't intend to make any further comments on the situation. "While I felt it was important to address and clarify misinformation I will not be making any further comment out of utmost respect for the Australian Government and their authorities and the current process," Djokovic added.



"It is always an honour and a privilege to play in the Australian Open. The Australian Open is much-loved by players, fans and the community, not just in Victoria and in Australia, but around the globe, and I just want to have the opportunity to compete against the best players in the world and perform before one of the best crowds in the world."

[jjgold]

His credibility is ruined everybody’s laughing at him

[MinnesotaFats]

Australia is a Banana Republic now

Look at these politicians, how they are unilaterally overriding the Courts...ignoring the facts, the science and the people.

Look at this, Novak doesn't pose a threat, he isn't sick, doesn't intend to stay long, has visited and competed often and would visit and compete in the future.

He's a solid international partner to promote the Aussie Open around.

Instead they shit all over him, he prevails on logical grounds, and then again the Government shits all over him and again he will prevail as this complaint doesn't even cite a health risk, but rather speculates that Aussies will rally around his unvaxxed status.

Why is that illegal in Australia?

The people who voted in this government, especially after the WHO declaration earlier this week, have got to be embarrassed as to how trivial, pathetic and stupid their Country looks right now.

Absolutely hilarious that anyone defends this latest move, especially w the timing as it pertains to the tournament. Just an underhanded approach to the issue and more proof it has nothing to do about rules or science or facts, it has only to do with the ego of liberals.

The bottom line is people that don’t get vaccinated are really suffering it’s proven every single day even kids now are suffering

The rules aren't always right

There was a time the rules prohibited:

Booze
Gay marriage
Interracial schooling
Women voting
....

Sometimes the rules are just wrong, and those that make them or vote for the politicians that defend them are wrong too.
