Crazy shit

Frankly I think there should be terminations in the Aussie Open hierarchy. This all started with and continues with them flagrantly opposing their government on a decision the majority of both the Australian citizenry and tennis players agree with the government on.

It's just a desperate, tonedeaf cashgrab, and I won't watch a second of the event if it's in it.

Let's see if he can pay off enough people to get him to stay again.

There's a chance he gets allowed to stay for now, then gets kicked out during the tournament and is forced to withdraw. This is all on the people running the event.

Regardless, he lost unanimously. Deported.

Yeah, even if he can appeal (I've heard conflicting info. At first it sounded like no, but I think it was later clarified that he could still maybe) there's basically zero chance it could be resolved in time for the Open.

At first I saw reporting that he couldn't because it was a decision by the full court but then later I saw other reporting the court clarified it viewed its decision as a review and not an appeal or something.

idk, I don't know enough about the Australian legal system to know for sure.

But either way, his match - which was already scheduled as late as it could be given its position in the draw - is in just over 24 hours so yeah.

I don't understand what the drama is about

A country has a law that says only vaccinated people are allowed currently
Someone (Doesn't matter who the fuck he is, can be the POTUS for all I care) ask to be allowed to get in unvaccinated - denied access
Wow?

Um... no?

Whether or not he's eligible for the tournament has nothing to do with whether or not he's allowed in the country. The people running the event didn't give him his visa, didn't provide him a medical exemption for a visa to enter the country and given his status as the number 1 player in the world, denying him access to the tournament isn't something they're allowed to do.

The drama is because that wasn't what happened originally.

Instead rich and famous person was given an exception he didnt really qualify for. Then he was denied entry at the last minute. Then a judge said "what more could he have done?" and let him in again. Then it was found out that he lied about even doing the minimum effort he had claimed to have done before coming to Australia.

All while Australian citizens shouted about how he shouldn't have gotten special treatment in the first place and Serbia claimed it was all because Australia was being racist against serbians.

yeah

my "support" of djokovic I alluded to earlier was mostly the fact that all of the exemption/subsequent drama is politically motivated / government flexing its "strong border" stance before an election

he should've been denied at the outset. if the australian government had issues with the exemption, they should've handled it in a private way, not through sending him to a detention hotel and turning it into a huge thing. the whole situation has only galvanized anti vaccination sentiment at a time when Australia is actually loosening its lockdowns.

I hate djokovic and think he's a huge piece of shit, but he was basically "made an example of" in a way that doesn't actually "fight covid."

Djokovic may now have problems in the French because it's now law to be vaccinated at public gatherings.

I see this morning it was implied that Djokovics positive COVID test may have been altered.

His positive result had a higher test batch number than his negative. And his positive batch number result matches up with a positive test date of 24-26th rather than the 16th he said. From the sequence of data they got, Djokovic's positive batch number was the only outlier, the rest were in chronological order as expected.

so he might have had a positive test from around christmas and then said it was actually from 10 days prior to imply he was already over it?

Pretty much. The implication is he tested positive around christmas and his negative test is actually from prior to his positive test. His negative test had a lower serial number than his positive test and all other data they found from the same testing facilities show test serials are sequential.

That also would mean someone at the facility/government falsified it for him if true. Or his team falsified documents after receiving them

Tuned in part way through the 4th set. An amazing comback by Nadal. I thought Medvedev had him after he broke back to get to 5-5 in the 5th but Nadal showed why he's a GOAT.

Also nice that the win put $50 in my pocket. I jumped on Nadal at 10-1 once there was a very strong possibility of Novak missing the tourney. Those odds were far too good with no Novak and the only other big threat being Medvedev.
