It's an absolute PR disaster for Djokovic, his image will be tainted forever for putting people at risk of catching COVID and jeopardizing the start of the tour.

You think the ATP was unaware that contagion is still going on when they decided to restart the tour in the US of all places?I can't see competitive tennis starting this year now. It's been proved beyond reasonable doubt that it's risky, thanks to Djokovic, although I don't think anyone will be thanking him.
Oh come on.
The tour was a bad idea but isn't this the guy who fought and fought for increasing lower ranked players income?
Isn't he the one who arranged for that player relief fund?
Much cancel culture, no?
Taint the whole lyfe of a person for one mistake. A mistake that didn't have any malice intended.
DISGUST.
The circlejerk is on man.Oh come on.

Oh he definitely needs to be blamed but I don't see the punishment fit at all.Might've been done for the right reasons (i.e improving mental health for people in quarantine type stuff), doesn't mean it wasn't extremely stupid anyway. And yes he doesn't deserve 100% of the blame since the rest of them are grown men too. Even the people filling the stands didn't have to show up, but he has to take some blame.
In fact, voting him off the player council is probably as light a punishment as he should hope for.

No I don't but now they can't pretend that they didn't know.You think the ATP was unaware that contagion is still going on when they decided to restart the tour in the US of all places?
I hardly think being voted out of a largely symbolic role is tainting Djokovic's whole life. I highly doubt he'll receive any formal punishment of any kind – fine, ban, etc. Nor do I think he should. But he rightly deserves all the criticism he's getting at the moment and if players no longer have faith in his ability to make sensible decisions related to touring, professional tennis (not an unreasonable thing to think after the Adria tour), then of course they're going to vote him out.Oh come on.

Not sure why he should want to put up with those guys anyway. Just get out, demand refund, publicly apologize, donate obscene amount to Serbian anti COVID effort, after that anyone can go **** themselves, next time you win Wimbly, **** on center court.Oh he definitely needs to be blamed but I don't see the punishment fit at all.
Don't even see why the ATP player council should punish him.
Of course they knew. And so all the other pro sports that have restarted. They know they can’t eliminate contagions nor are they looking to do thatNo I don't but now they can't pretend that they didn't know.
Some people here sounds like Djokovic brought Covid upon the whole humanity. Amazing. LolYou think the ATP was unaware that contagion is still going on when they decided to restart the tour in the US of all places?

Is this just trolling? Who in the world is going to fine him and for what?So what's the punishment? Do you fine him? Probably so, in which case it shouldn't be pocket change to him. 1M+ at least. You can't make it like 10,000 dollars and say "look we punished him." He would laugh so hard he'd snort another 10,000 out of his nose FFS.
Some people here also think that Covid doesn't exist.Some people here sounds like Djokovic brought Covid upon the whole humanity. Amazing. Lol
Apparently you like to spread rumors, no?Apparently there's talk of stripping Novak of all of his slams and a lifetime ban... very sad. He will be missed.
See it was a totally stupid decision to play but how is he subject to any punishment by the ATP player body while he did nothing wrong while representing them.So what's the punishment?

Just like climate change and cancer..Some people here also think that Covid doesn't exist.

I absolutely love that show. The five most terrifying words: " COME ERE ALL OF YOU!"Give me your jacket and get out of the player council. You're done.
He has brought tennis into disrepute.See it was a totally stupid decision to play but how is he subject to any punishment by the ATP player body while he did nothing wrong while representing them.
Hello this was an exho okayed by the governments of the countries it was taking place in.
Where does the ATP come in this?
Criticise him all you want but he has done nothing against the ATP player council.
True. Many major outlets in the U.S. and around the world are slamming him for the decision.He has brought tennis into disrepute.
Not as many as Federer had over "The two numbers that must not be named" (at least not consecutively).How many sleepless nights will Djokovic have over this terrible news!?
Life's hard at the top brother, if you slip up the eyes will be upon you...he just happened to slip up big time.Oh come on.

has every Fed and Nadal fan in TTW simply gone nuts?
Djokovic is Finnish.
Stop being so reasonable! Find your pitchfork and let’s strap Novak to a Space-X rocket and banish him to MarsMight've been done for the right reasons (i.e improving mental health for people in quarantine type stuff), doesn't mean it wasn't extremely stupid anyway.

I think Pat Cash should give him a spanked bottom in public.
