This means Djokovic who has recently been in the media spotlight for refusing to say whether he has been vaccinated must be double jabbed to compete.
World No. 1 tennis superstar Novak Djokovic has expressed uncertainty over whether he will return to Melbourne and defend his 2021 grand slam title. Picture: Getty. More than a third of players on the men’s and women’s tours had not been fully vaccinated by the start of last week according to figures provided by the Association of Tennis Professionals.
"I don't think the person you indicated or any other tennis player, let's not personalise it, or golfer, or Formula 1 driver will even get a visa to get here.”
GregHuntMP I hope he and other Tennis stars don't come and turn the open into a second rate comp.
GregHuntMP How the hell is Greg hunt a health minister and knows nothing about naturally acquired antibodies? That's like a carpenter not knowing what a hammer is.
GregHuntMP A fit health tennis player needs to get vaccinated, what a joke. The argument that it is to protect other people is not valid as the at risk people should be vaccinated and if they are not it is on them. The vaccinated can still contract covid and they can still spread.
GregHuntMP Good. There’s enough loony anti-vaxxers here already without importing them. Get vaxxed, or stay TF out, I don’t card how good you are at tennis, golf, cricket or marbles. End of.
GregHuntMP Don't think many people want to visit the Chinese province of Australia these days anyway.
GregHuntMP I think the main question that needs to be answered is will there still be any type of quarantine? That is the issue. That’s has killed us with any international events not lockdowns
GregHuntMP So?
GregHuntMP 'Anyhow ... stiff shit'.
GregHuntMP 'Banned' ?! Whatever...
GregHuntMP Novak gets the best backhand from Au Gov

GregHuntMP Could ?

Novak Djokovic won’t be allowed into Australia unless fully vaccinatedThe world’s best tennis player will not reveal whether he has been vaccinated, and it could cost him a place at the Australian Open. Do you mean the same Djokovic who didn’t believe that COVID existed and staged a tennis tournament where multiple players and attendees contracted COVID? Why have Dan's pic up...it was the Federal minister Alex Hawke who decides on the Australian borders and is only granting visas to those fully vaccinated. Do people really want Novak to put ball kids and their families at risk? He won't be playing at the US open either.
