Hope not, this is pretty funny.

Yeah assume he will just apply again, think Serbian government get involved now.

Yup.

Djokovic hasn't left the Melbourne Airport since landing on January 5.

Crossing my fingers for an international incident.

 

[sledger]

Very lolsy this

A diplomatic incident about to erupt over grown men who prance about swatting little balls sround

Hope not, this is pretty funny.

will be funny for me if/when the arsehole is officially forced to withdraw from the tournament...

 

[sledger]

I'd say it's more likely then unlikely that he's gone tbh

Will be hugely humiliating for the aus government if he's able to stay - the men in suits won't let it happen

 

[Anil]

Hopefully yes…

Novax Djocovid

Hope they have pictures of him boarding the plane home.

 

[_Ed_]

Remembering how badly he's reacted to crowds favouring his opponents in the past, part of me wanted to see him walk out in front of a chorus of boos. But this is entertaining too, so I'll take it.

 

[Anil]

Wouldn't he be a champion of the PEWS/GIMH #freedom crowd?

 

[_Ed_]

Maybe, but Melbourne's had a rough time with six lockdowns and various restrictions - I think the overwhelming majority would have been angry at the idea of him getting special treatment.

 

[sportschamp]

where is the next best tennis racquets match I am really excited about watching live match slam.

Wouldn't he be a champion of the PEWS/GIMH #freedom crowd?

Is it really a crowd if it's only two people?

Is it really a crowd if it's only two people?

Good question but I just mentioned them as the CW face of the loony fringe…

I just watched Steve Cotterill's views on Djokovic on Sky Sports News, 2022 looking like it's going to be the same as the last 2 ****ing years, irritating with a slice of insanity.

Cotterill did nearly die, he has strong views. Not seen it myself. Sure a Town fan will link it on Faceache at some stage.

SO NOVAK HAS WON

YESSSS!!! A WIN FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT.

 

[duffer]

@Anil don't cry man. It's coming home!

Djokovic arrested now

Seems he's being accused of either faking his positive covid test, or still going to public events the day after he tested positive.

Whichever one, that's all on him. Pretty stupid.
