1it appears the AO has gone from outlier to beacon pretty quick. Tournaments are falling into line in order to be sure beforehand. Signal is clear.
Tournaments also need be in line with majority, they in the business of popularity, and like a vote-seeker they are signalling they are with the majority's commitment to vaccination.
And look it may well change however the state of play atm if you are running a successful tournament must be that you don't want to **** off your ticket buyers, nor **** off your host govt.Australia has set a precedent and made it easier for other slams to do the same, nobody wanted to be the first to do it, Australia did it, now the path is easier.
When in Rome.....

Craig Tiley exemption fiasco is a tournament getting above itself and reflect his ego.
We are the leader of the free world with fifty bulletsWhat does the Serbia Open director say?
Nadal is a rule-follower
on one hand....
Nadal is a rule-follower so no need to worry on that front. On the other hand, he won't to be the one to profit from Novak's absences.

More like he was kicked on the balls. He had been warned in November but he ignored it.Tiley was stabbed in the back on the issue. His only fault was over-estimating the significance of his tournament and his clout with government.

Do like R.... s do.... break the road rules, don't pay taxes, vote for a new government every year and eat pizza bianca?

You know when someone keeps a plethora of pictures of Nadal...

Nadal is as obedient as a well trained pet (of the establishment), so is Federer, these are the posterboys of the corporates.
Bart would take the opposite view if someone said the sky is blue.I have to say it's hilarious watching Djokovic fans fall to pieces over this trend and watching Bart go apoplectic.
That's why the deportation saga wasn't the biggest one...@vive le beau jeu ! joining the VB would be the only story bigger than the Djokovic deportation![]()
Bart would take the opposite view if someone said the sky is blue.
LOL. Federer was the emperor, Nadal the gladiator. Nadal is an intelligent rebel, not a reckless one. His strong will is an orderly will, not the chaotic will of Djokovic. Nadal vs. Djokovic is order vs. chaos, routine vs. scatterbrain.
Honestly in real life he is probably triple vaxxed, tripled masked and attends pro vaccine rallies.Definitely. Bart is a reflexive contrarían and the starting point for his flights of fancy is almost irrelevant.
It's the journey not the destination for him in terms of discourse![]()
You don't even watch Tennis you logged on here to spout anti VAX propaganda. You have 180 comments mostly all within the last week. You probably watched your first tennis match yesterday and wouldn't know the difference between a racket and a baseball bat. Blocked.So why havent Djokovic taken the vaccine?
Consider the following data from a typical European country, Sweden on reported side effects of covid vaccine (reported by hospital staff or patient)
A. Reported SERIOUS side effects: 5526
B. Reported deaths: 280
And that's from Pfizer only. Then add for Moderna and Astra xenica, another 86 deaths plus almost 2000 more SERIOUS side effects.
.......
Other data:
Died from covid since July 2021.
Vaccinated 72 %
Unvaccinated 28 %
........
Other data
Average age those died; 82 years.
CONCLUSION
But big pharma propaganda, authoritarian politicians, and a sheep like population creates intolerance and hate for those with integrity and own stand not following the rules and mandates.
My god, now I get it. Novak and you have seen through the veil of lies and misinformation. Done your own research and come to the only logical conclusion - one that the consensus of scientists, researchers and doctors throughout the world could not find. Thank you for opening my eyes to this grand conspiracy... nah, just kidding. IGNORE BUTTON.So why havent Djokovic taken the vaccine?

I seriously don't know, man. It certainly works in Australia with 92% over 16 years of age vaxxed, ZERO covid policy, heavy lockdowns/restrictions etc. Here are the numbers to prove you wrong.So why havent Djokovic taken the vaccine?

Djoko's lawyers in their submission for the first appeal stated that Djoko received his visa at the end of November and that the visa was not dependant on vaccination status.Novak got a visa due to a valid exemption by the Federal Government regardless of this warning. Two courts found all his border entry papers were in order. They were issued by the Feds.
Everyone is welcome but the #ABD playersWhat does the Serbia Open director say?
And now it's TWO courts that specifically found, on the merits, that all his papers were in order!I have to say it's hilarious watching Djokovic fans fall to pieces over this trend and watching Bart go apoplectic.

After all of this my impression is Novak's case was basically someone told me I could come.Djoko's lawyers in their submission for the first appeal stated that Djoko received his visa at the end of November and that the visa was not dependant on vaccination status.
Tennis Australia issued Djoko's exemption on 30 December, despite the fact that the Australian Government officials told Craig Tiley (CEO of Tennis Australia) twice in writing that having Covid within the last 6 months was not a valid reason for an exemption from vaccination.

Letters from federal government cast doubt on Djokovic exemption
Health authorities told Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley on two occasions in writing that people who were not vaccinated and had contracted COVID-19 in the past six months would not be granted quarantine-free travel to Australia.www.theage.com.au
Who would have thought that Bart was an antivaxxer?I have to say it's hilarious watching Djokovic fans fall to pieces over this trend and watching Bart go apoplectic.
