Good old Novak. Only two weeks into 2021, and he's already causing embarrassing international incidents for Tennis. Can't say he isn't consistent.
"The good news is that I have made fewer mistakes than Novak since I came to Australia !! # day4"
We won't "take your word for it", because it appears not to be true.
Tiley and one other person have now confirmed with their statements that part of the info that the Australian health authorities have given to TA has not been properly communicated to the players.
Does Djokovic think he is a special citizen unlike others???? He should immediately issue apologies for his special requests in these corona 2nd phase time!!! Guy learnt nothing from Adria debacle
Tiley did no such thing. He did say that it was a health official decision, but this decision conformed to what all players were told.
Tiley confirmed with his statement that the information was not conveyed to the players in a way that the repercussions from eventual positive case on a flight are crystal clear to the players. It is also something that could not have happened by accident: TA decided to give the players the obscured version by not telling them what happens, if there is a positive test on the flight they are on.
We know what that means.
I've read evidence that contradicts this, and you have no evidence.
Tiley's statement is available and that is what I referred to, so I don't think that you "read" it. You have read something else.
I read it and it doesn't say what you suggest so I'll rely on my interpretation rather than on your version of "reality".
Pro tennis players disgracing themselves once again during the pandemic.
That's true...He should just stop and focus on playing tennis. Sort of like what Nadal is doing.
Eh, they have a right to ask for different conditions and officials have a right to refuse to accommodate them, what is the big problem here that there has to be 10 threads on the topic?
Why did you include 2010? So Djokovic had an advantage over Nadal in 2010? LMAO
The Slam h2h is 6-5 for Djokovic starting from 2011 despite half of these matches being played at the FO. Imagine if they played once at the FO and 5 times at the AO instead. 10-1 for Djokovic in that period? Maybe 9-2 if Nadal lucks out another Slam when Djokovic is involved in a 5 hour battle in the SF while Nadal has Youzhny or Berrettini.
Was sending a bunch of requests a cardinal sin? He requested and they rejected. Case closed. What's with the deep rooted hate?there are enough "glory hunters" that will close both eyes on everything as long as he keeps winning
and even among those who are not glory hunters, people have a relatively short memory, so in a matter of months / few years this will be forgotten

Fair enough. But is it really that bad? We could care less of what he does off court which does not harm anyoneDjokovic seems tone deaf to the political context. He's not a good leader of his association.

The thing with the association is that nobody apart form Novak (I reckon) is ready to take the lead in the off chance that he steps down. Other players with him are already invested in their tennis careers that they would take up a leading position in an organisation.I wou;d like the association to succeed.

Disagree... He is even not anti-vaxxer.. He took his own children to get vaccines regularly... But, it is just one of the lies promoted on forums and butt hurt media...He can go ahead and win the titles, but he's lost the respect of so many people after her promoted his anti vaxxer views, creating a tournament that spread the virus, whingeing about our rules while he chills in Adelaide and lives the high life. He is the ultimate hypocrite. He is truly out of touch.
is the no vaccination rant off court?
does it help or does it rather damage?
the instagram posts selling "snake oil" was that on court or off court?
total lack of any precautionary measure during the organization of Adria Tour?
run away from Adria Tour in Croatia in an attempt to avoid the test?
just to name a few incidents where his off court behavior is not that innocent
Look you want to stick to what happened in the past go ahead. Every sane person condemned what he did was utterly wrong. Now if you want to use that as ammunition and go after Novak and his fanbase at every point he makes any statement from now on, then that's your prerogative.
And yes the current situation of his 'demands' are far less controversial than the things you mentioned in your post. He got what he asked for, which was a firm NO. Plain and simple. I don't see a point in discussing this trivial matter further
Disagree... He is even not anti-vaxxer.. He took his own children to get vaccines regularly... But, it is just one of the lies promoted on forums and butt hurt media...
Djokovic said that he is personally opposed to vaccination, so maybe his wife is the brains of the family.
No, sorry...Djokovic said that he is personally opposed to vaccination, so maybe his wife is the brains of the family.
What goes around, comes around as they say. What about the deep rooted hate of an infantile fan base who still posts “40-15!” here constantly. About a match that happened 1.5 years ago. That’s the personification of hatred.Case closed. What's with the deep rooted hate?
Exactly .Djokovic can ask even if his list is mostly absurd, but several tennis players are behaving in a rather entitled manner.
I can understand their frustrations and gripes but broadcasting them on social media undermines public support for the event.
DENIED
Present your evidence then - LOLI've read evidence that contradicts this, and you have no evidence.
They're miserable conditions to hold a major indeed. It's been all very unfortunate, the original arrangement seemed solid but it hasn't survived the encounter with reality.which is actually sad, isn't it?
as apparently some players might have advantage over another players in form of 14 days of training?
but even if all participants are quarantined, 14 days without training, for top athletes? are you guys serious?
It's OK to have a problem with them, too.
