Novak Djokovic's visa controversy 'damaging on all fronts' - ATP

Ros Atkins on… Novak Djokovic’s Australia visa victory

This year's tournament begins on 17 January and if Djokovic wins, he will become the most successful men's player in history. The ATP added: "More broadly, ATP continues to strongly recommend vaccination for all players on the ATP Tour, which we believe is essential for our sport to navigate the pandemic.

"We are encouraged that 97% of the top 100 players are vaccinated leading into this year's Australian Open.""Justice has spoken and has said that he [Djokovic] has the right to participate in the Australian Open and I think it is the fairest decision," Nadal told the Spanish radio station Onda Cero.The Czech government said Voracova entered Australia on a valid exemption. Like Djokovic, she had contracted Covid-19 recently.

What a racket this 1 man has made

Money & Celebrity trumps Public Health

Absolutely correct NOT a good Human! NO concern about the country rules and it’s citizens! Bad image for the TENNIS World! He is taking the spot light of the players that work so hard for their accomplishments!

Has anyone heard from ScottMorrisonMP since Djokovic was released? WheresTheWally

If the Australian government are serious in controlling the infection, they should never issue a visa to him in the first place.

Lucky he got Covid a couple of weeks or so before flying out there really, otherwise he’d have never got that visa. What would he have done then?

You swan around the world hitting a little green ball for goodness sake just get vaccinated.

Novak Djokovic case puts Australian government in no-win situationThe Djokovic visa saga could have a big impact on this year’s Australian elections as Canberra faces a dilemma with either decision likely to provoke a backlash, writes Stephen Evans Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Arnoldnike93 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation If AUS allows djokovic to compete against other athletes, who DID follow previously established covid protocols, the AUS gov't is essentially telling it's people, they matter less than a whiny, rich, white privelaged, antivaxxer, foreigner, in their own country.🤦🏻‍♀️💉😷

Djokovic drama 'really bad', says MurrayAndy Murray says he is dismayed at Novak Djokovic's struggle to gain entry to Australia, saying it is 'really not good for tennis at all'. Too many highly privileged sportsmen appear to be antivaxx Prima Donnas. Australia has been a salutary moment. I enjoy the thought of the rabid COVID cowards skimming through the story in the hope that Murray gets involved with their psychopathic persecution of a man choosing his own medical treatments. I guess lots more dogs will be punched after that disappointment. ‘Not good for tennis’? Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

It was criminal damage pure & simple. Maybe the statue should have been removed but it must not be done by mob rule, otherwise it will set a very dangerous precedent 🤷🏼‍♂️
