Djokovic

Number 2 gets answered all the time. Here is just one of many easily googled briefings

Pity he didn't give you a slap while he was at it. You sound like a spoilt teenager with no manners and an attitude problem. Embarrassing.

You should see what some Aussies think of him

Hell even their TV presenters have been caught out off camera calling him a lying scheming ar**hole.

And most Aussies agree with him but much less complimentary language.

If he plays his supporters will turn up with their Serbian military hats and Serb flags wrapped round them along with the anti vaccination loons.

Then watch normal people boor and jeer him.

All it takes is anyone spoiling for a fight like Bosnians or Croats to turn up and it is a shyteshow.

Is that what the organisers want?

Yeah they want viewers, but do they want points being jeered and booed with subsequent riot outside?

As I said they had crowd trouble in 2007 and 2009 so there is precedence.

I couldn't imagine the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club would want anything like that at the Championship.

Will UK allow him enter if he is unvaccinated ?

And seems they might

No matter how much they're backing up his efforts to play in the Open, I'd imagine the Serb government can't have him openly flouting their rules.

"and in the end (preusuming there is going to be an end!) they will most likley be little better off than anyone else."

Define "little better off". I live in Perth and we have had one death from community transmission in almost two years, compare that to the rest of the country and the world. Now, there is plenty of fatigue around Western Australia's restrictions and a lot of appetite to travel/see family and friends again but in terms of arguably the most important metric, death numbers, we are very much a lot better off than pretty much everyone else. The protesters are very much in the minority here because of the quality of life we've been able to have. Other parts of the country are the same - Northern Territory, Tasmania, South Australia, Queensland have all been largely untouched throughout. Australia is more than just Sydney and Melbourne.

The WA economy, which is crucial to the country overall, has also been fine over the period, no massive hit as you've suggested. Having said that, I hope we do reopen on February 5 so I can see my family again. I'll be boosted next week and we can't stay this way forever.

Re: Djokovic, he's an idiot but no more so than our incompetent Federal Government. Ideally he gets booted from the tournament and Morrison and co. get booted from power in this year's election.

If this was anyone else in the same situation this would have ended weeks ago. Send him home with a digeredoo and a clap on the back. Try harder next time mate.

Seems to be in more hot water...

My sister is living just outside Melbourne. She says everyone she knows is having the same conversation as the 2 news reporters on Channel7. Basically Djokovic is an arsehole and should be booted out but the Ozzy government will let him stay because they are muppets.

I honestly believe this will turn a lot of people against restrictions if he stays. I see a guy in England wants his £100 fine refunded for having 3 friends in his garden for his birthday after Boris Johnson's 100 people garden party. I agree with him.

Funny how he got drawn with a Serb in the first round.

Was one of our GAA provincial councils doing the old draw by any chance.

If the Aussie government chickens out and he is allowed stay his hardcore foam at the mouth Serb fans will have to scream for him against another Serb.

Well in the first round anyway.

Kecmanovic will suddenly find he is the most popular player in world tennis, for an afternoon at least.
