Anyone know what is his medical exception?
Whoopsie
Won’t be happening bro
Yes, and again, whats your point?
Chosing to get vaccinated (or not) has some pros and cons on both sides of the decision making process - like every single choice we make.
Tough decisions, no doubt, but lets all be adults here.
Seems odd that he sacrificed titles to remain unvaccinated as this was nearly inevitable
Maybe he's arrogant or strongly held beliefs , I dunno which
I have no idea, how many of them make their choices based on what some high profile star do?
I haven't fallowed this too closely but i think if he had not said on social media he had a medical exemption he be playing tomorrow... He should have kept quiet once he was allowed play...
In this pandemic the choice of not wanting to be vaccinated has consequences, specially if that choice has a direct impact on the health of people who are vaccinated, it is how society works.. in medieval times the unvaccinated equivelant would probably be dragged outside the city walls.
looooooossssseeeeerrrrr.... 🤣

Nole is the true Ali of our times..courage, fortitude, stamina, conviction and unwavering self/-belief!
took on the establishment, the naysayers, the begrudgers and won. But they couldn’t allow that…
go get 21 in Paris!
As someone living in Aus who has zero interest in tennis, this outcome makes me happy.
Arrogant fecker thinks he can circumnavigate the rules by producing a positive covid result just at the right time frame without isolating in Europe.
he should have been booted for false declaration on his immigration form anyway IMO. Everyone who has ever seen border force knows these forms are not a joke
They actually couldn't care less who Novak Djokovic is or what he has done. You're looking at this from an Irish perspective laden with begrudgery. Australians just don't think that way.
If they had have let Djokovic is then they wouldn't have a leg to stand on when the next unvaccinated person showed up at the airport with a recent negative pcr test. It only got this far because Djokovic has the money to appeal his case. Most people would have given up at the airport.
awe @glasso I hope your ok? big hug...
Arrogant.
Right up to the end, he thought he'd get away with it simply because he's Novak Djokovic.
That Czech player that no one had ever heard of, she just packed her bags and left.
I'm highly bemused by all these loonies on here thinking he's striking a blow for the rights of the common man. Lads, Novak doesn't give a shyte about you, only himself.
Pack it up and move on to the next conspiracy theory.
Western Australia will open in three weeks. One death in two years, we’re doing just fine here. Very happy to have lived in Perth through the pandemic.
some people don't understand the knock on affect that their actions have on others.. it may be down to selfishness/ignorance or just an inability to understand, bless em
The one thing we did learn this past week is that Nigel Farage would have done very well for himself had he been Irish.
Provided the French dont have an immigration control, I know how much you want open borders nowadays.
Not many countries have open borders.
I’m shocked it took this long for someone to compare him to Ali 😂 🥴
Great outcome and the right decision made. Most people in Australia support it, the government listened, and that’s the essence of democracy. See ya later 👋🏼
My love has got no money
He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power
My love has got no fame
He's got his strong beliefs.
i've a great tip for Novac... as he won't be needing his tennis balls on the courts for a while, he can use them to help dry his laundry wrinkle free - they are great for that lol... and he could learn how to juggle lol... I must tweet him - awe bless...
Disappointed to hear the news this morning. It's gonna be like the all Ireland without Dublin in it. Yes there will be a winner and yes there will be some great tennis, but without the greatest player in the world on the court. But this is a victory for Australia and the world so on with the circus...
my dear, Djokovic will go on living a life breaking tennis history (just not in Australia this year) that will be in the record books
others will go on living a life of popcorn-price tracking
The world will go on either way.
Wrong think and thought crimes are a real thing in Australia. He isn't being deported because of his visa application, it's because he might stoke anti vaccine sentiment. A very dangerous route to go down.
No, it isn't.
And the big red deportation stamp in his Passport might well close the door to Paris, London and New York this year as well.
What a gargantuan spanner he really has been. Leave aside the vaccination issue entirely and he has still been a liar and an arrogant fool.
Who cares it’s theirs and ours loss. Djokovic is far bigger than Australia and it’s so called Open. They’ll be begging him to come back next year.
No he lied on his visa application. Then lied in his interview.
So there's that.
But sure look rules don't apply when you are wealthy. And you'll have an infinite amount of loopers willing to fight your cause on the Internet. What's even more hilarious the very same people will go to bat for you for other wealthy people stuff like tax evasion etc etc. The world is a gas place all the same isn't it.
You've people on other forums shouting for Putins right to invade another country. It's almost if people in this country actually have it half not bad and they look for things to grind their gears. If only they put half as much effort into grinding their gears about things that matter like our housing policies, infrastructure, judicial issues, mental health funding and strategy.
But hey hoe...
Yes it is. Did you read the Aussie governments rationale for cancelling the visa the 2nd time and their argument in court? It wasn't based on the wrong vida application or even Djokovic's vaccine status from a health perspective. It was the notion that he might stoke anti vaccine sentiment - a thought crime.
Except that wasn't the reasons the visa was cancelled the second time. It was that he might stoke anti vaccine sentiment - wrong think.
“Far bigger than Australia”, might as well close the thread now 😂
