Hammered at home, admired abroad: Djokovic lie Australia can’t swallowThe Novak Djokovic saga has drawn plenty of attention to Australia, but the notion it has damaged our reputation abroad is rubbish. No image of a bare chested chrishemsworth is gonna change the world’s opinion of us. We’re a nation that is 90 something % & we’re afraid of a tennis player. Was Novak issued with a valid visa by the deplorables in the Australian government? Did the Federal Court of Australia give Novak the all clear to play? Did the Australian government know that Novak was un-vaccinated and that he was not in favour of gene therapy? I rest my case No more tennis open in this country
