TENNIS THREAD- The Slams are over, and we have new Champions!

[Raahh]

Even though the commentators are still talking about Djokovic as though Medvedev hasn't won.

How much credit does Daniil deserve? All of it! He bloody won .

I'm a bit cross. Can you tell .

[DaggerIsle]

They're saying that he is staying in a hotel under armed guard!!!!

[Fizzywinegum]

Even better than Doctors Raahh

Wow armed guard DaggerIsle - he’ll be raging!

[Raahh]

Fizzy now, I might not go that far ...

[JaneJeffer]

God he'll probably end up starting World War III at this rate

[JaneJeffer]

[kazzaD66]

You see, I've always liked Goran. But if it transpires that he's also unvaccinated.....

[Fizzywinegum]

DH says that Djok’s Dad has said they will fight them on the streets

[Raahh]

kazza it makes you wonder- the whole team seem to have closed ranks. Someone applied for a visa that wasn't the right one- and tried to get away with it.

Even the 'One Show' have been discussing it. I only caught the very end- but Alex Jones seemed to find itvery funny that the actions of a tennis player have caused such a huge furore.
It is bonkers, really. The conversation should have gone -

Aussie Tennis Bod- So, Novak, we know you don't agree with vaccines. Have you been jabbed?
Novak- No
ATB- You realise you won'be able to play then, not fair on anyone else, cobber.

Novak- No, you're right. See you in 2023.
ARB- Fair Dinkum

The end.

[kazzaD66]

Oh, ffs!
I don't care if they are vaccinated or not. It's their choice. But don't then try to get round the rules which everyone else has to abide by or think you're being picked on or discriminated against. Because you're not!

[JaneJeffer]

Ok I know I'm cynical but maybe whoever applied knew it wasn't the right visa.

[Raahh]

Fizzy Pa Djokovic is a bit of a drama llama, isn't he.

Djok is being held 'captive' according to him.

He will be claiming Djok is triggered and getting flashbacks to war-torn Serbia next

[JaneJeffer]

@Fizzywinegum

DH says that Djok’s Dad has said they will fight them on the streets

See, WW3 I fucking knew it

[Raahh]

Jane maybe his own team don't like him.

[kazzaD66]

Raahh
Exactly. Someone in authority needs to grow some balls!
We've said it before. We should be running the whole shebang

[JaneJeffer]

@Raahh

Jane maybe his own team don't like him.

I don't think there's any maybe about it.

[kazzaD66]

My comment was in response to your perfectly reasonable scenario with Cock and the Aussies Raahh

[Mama1980]

I've just been reading the news and it's just crazy this is being so widely reported.
All this could have been avoided if Djokovic wasn't such a idiot! Surely they have to just send him home now, any backing down will make the government look ridiculous.

[JaneJeffer]

I'd kind of like him to be there getting booed to hell now though

[Raahh]

kazza

It would have been so simple if he had done that, wouldn't it?
No drama, he could have stayed home with the kids and watched Rafa someone else win instead, and congratulated himself on making the right choice.

Instead we've got all this- and it will probably over shadow the whole fortnight, and taint the outcome- in the same getting himself booted out of the US Open did.

[magimedi]

Djock is a tosser.


Kazza I really hope Macron denies Djock entry to France.

I was SO cross to read about the exemption. It nearly destroyed my sense of peace and harmony that I now have.

I would rather Kyrigos won than Djock!!!!!!!

[DaggerIsle]

I reckon his wife did it. Every time they pose together she has hostage eyes.

Hello you lovelies.

Ha ha, just saw the headline that Australia are going to deport Novak tomorrow! The glee!!!! I'm not surprised, they've suffered such drastic covid measures, it would be such a kick in the face for the Australian people to see Novak compete.

Vamos Rafa ♥️
