A chorus of boos rang out at Melbourne Park during the presentation ceremony following the men's single's final
"With vaccinations on the way, rolling out in many countries around the world, it's now a time for optimism and hope for the future," she said.The crowd ultimately settled but were then angrily boisterous at the mention of the Victorian government.This led to another chorus of boos which halted Hrdlicka's speech.She was able to finish the speech by thanking fans despite calling those in attendance a, "very opinionated group of people".
Typical ungrateful spoilt Australians. An embarrassment on the world stage.
She better stays on topic next time. Fortunately they didn't invited Dan Andrews. Would have been great to get him booed too
They could’ve just said thanks to Victoria. Full stop
Silly to mention vaccination roll out at the final!
6 minutes from the TA official!😳 She was similarly long winded after the women’s’ final. My impression was the crowd got tired of her droning on and venturing into political issues was the final straw. Keep it brief, stick to the tennis.🙄
Any mention of Booing the Victorian Goverment
Should anti-vaxxers be saved from themselves ? I don't imagine their vote is worth much.
Don’t mention the war!

COVIDIOTS
Tennis fans obviously feel as entitled as the players AustralianOpen
It wasn't about the vaccine though, was it? Weird the way that's in the title. Sort of clickbaity. DHDan has to go.
Shame on the people who booed.
Embarrassing For Australia !! Her words were of hope and gratitude!!
Shame Victoria Shame AusOpen
Tennis fans who are also completely over Chairman Dan and the BS they have had to suffer
Probably ex Virgin Australia staff who she let go.
Excellent!
They’ll still get the vaccines, ie. just a bunch of hypercritical looser. Hopefully, they won’t die of covid before the jab!
Obviously the crowd was a selection of the privileged and entitled. Thinking people would recognise the truth in what she was saying and not behave like spoiled brats. auspol COVID19
Well that's a sign......
WTF!
The people booing were Serbian supporters of Novak and he spurred them on all tournament. Absolutely embarrassing and they deserved to be called out
An entitled shit sport, followed by entitled shithead fans.
Only vaccine for 1 a group of people no mention of vaccine for 1b or 2 a or 2b that leaves a majority left without vaccine
An unpopular Andrews government. Get off the stage quickly!
Whereas no boos the night before at Women's Final presentation and same words spoken ....why last night ?
The booing may have been a reaction by anti-vaxxers, or an indication that people's tolerance for the COVID19 spectre is wearing thin. But Tennis Australia's Jayne Hrdlicka regained control of the crown by the end of the speech. Grace & expertise under pressure. 👍 auspol
It was only the government that was booed. The way ABC distorts news is disgusting 🤮
I don't think an American business elite giving Australia a pep talk would go down well. Plus she been hired to reduce overheads which equals reduced workforce and conditions.
Victorians' who are well and truly over Andrews. And not as many people will be lining up for this vaccine as expected. To say it has been rushed through would be an understatement. Who the hell would be in a hurry to get it? I've spoken to health care people who do not want it.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BOO resignchairmandan mybodymychoice
Shame on them. They are obviously Novac fans and just parroting his anti vac ideas. Glad to see the back of him and them. Honestly wish the other guy had won.
Maybe when she said the loss and hardship has affected everyone she wasn’t referring to Dan because he hasn’t suffered any!
The crowd.
Highlight of the tournament. No bots at the tennis
Why is tennis Australia president talking about the vaccine ?
A crowd of shame, bet not one of them even know anyone who has died that horrible death caused by COVID-19. With thousands dying daily overseas, Australia you are living in Fantasy Land & all these idiots could do is boo governments who are keeping them safe. Shame, shame shame
social distancing at the tennis was not evident from news footage, TA could only think of cramming them in and the money they would make, could this be a super spreader event ?
Oh, the irony! Those idiots wouldn’t have been there without those efforts. It’s about time tennis fans were subjected to an IQ test before admission.
The hunger games....
That was a total embarrassment. Shame on the crowd
If you want to play politics stand for election. Otherwise stick to what you're there for - tennis administration.
Victorians being victorians. They still don’t get it. Never will. They are a liability for the rest of Australia
Talking about the vaccine was out of placed, so was the boo.
It will get to the stage no sports team will want to come here and you cant blame them a national embarrassment
Queensland were able to host AFL finals months ago, with crowds. QLD have been living normally for months. The last vic lockdown, seen a lot of fence sitters and labor people say enough is enough.
😂

AusOpen Djokovic auspol 2022 no jab no play policy is needed. Works for kindergartens....
That’s the real poll!
Loves her own voice😡 none of what she said was necessary.
Good sackdanandrews
The open was an absolute debacle from start to finish.
They were booing the Victorian government. Plain and simple. And so they should, Andrews is a disgrace.
What a dreadful oversight by PRGuy17 & VictorianLabor! They clearly forgot to pay 4 the DanielAndrewsMP trolls to stack the audience 🤔 R some of Scomos 'quiet' 🇦🇺 also 'quiet' Vic's? Good in them. We endured bc of Dan's ineptitude. He needs no thanks.
Perhaps they prefer going no where 2 boo.
Fantastic Victoria , interesting you didn’t play the booing govt part ..
Not the finest piece of writing or editing I’ve seen today. Plenty of clicks though, I expect. Imagine how many Facebook “likes” are being sorely missed these days...
Bunch of Trumpians drunk in the crowd?
2/18/2021, Europe 46 Nursing Home Residents in Spain Die Within 1 Month of Getting Pfizer COVID Vaccine Health officials have reportedly halted administration of the second shot of Pfizer’s vaccine at the Spanish nursing home.
Does that mean tennis fans aren't too keen on getting a vaccine?
they were all lucky enough to be there in the crowd, and have the audacity to not only interrupt the game (which both players pointed out) and boo the president? absolutely embarrassing
disgusting really is....
The final is a fucking pricey ticket...rich liberal voting Kew crowd
It seems the team SkyNewsAust have mistaken you for a left-wing media corp.
It’s on the ethic crowd (djok fans)
That was classless and dirty to be honest
How embarrassing for them. Obviously being adults and showing gratitude aren’t part of their agenda.
Djokovic is an anti-vaxxer and doesn’t take COVID seriously, his crowd were there so that’s no surprise.
It was just the government that was booed
Lots of Djokovic supporters in the crowd.
Victoria is getting stranger by the day.
They must prefer lockdowns
pipe down and get back to Brighton
Cheered last night ..... what was the difference in the crowd? On a different point .... Djokovic had a lot of supporters there.
Tennis president pushes vaccination with demonstrable negative side effects and even fatalities, despite not being a doctor or qualified medical professional. When people are long term fucked from these rushed vaccines, will these people be liable? I doubt it.
They got what they deserved
Pedo joe' 'I will eliminate COVID on day one....
It was fkn gold!
