I think it is because he has stated in the past that he is against these vaccinations, that I'm sceptical.

Maybe I'm just too cynical for my own good.

No I expect he's making a stand personally but is not principled enough to just not participate.

Seems not, which would be the right thing to do, all things considered.

I've just read on twitter that he's been denied entry into Australia due to a visa mix-up

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jan 2022 at 19:52

His team didn't put the reason for his exemption or include the exemption on the VISA.

I hope for his sake they don't think they just need to say he's exempt without proof.

It’ll be absolutely amazing if his VISA gets refused and he’s on the next plane out of there.

Putting exempt without a reason is amazing on so many levels and just shows how deluded he is.

His Dad's supposedly said that Novak has been detained for the past few hours and if he's not released soon he'll fight them in the streets

Visa cancelled

Lawyers to appeal.

Australia cancels visa of world tennis No.1 Novak Djokovic and intends to deport him on Thursday, with his lawyers expected to appeal

Couldn't have happened to a nicer idiot :cry:

Top trolling by Aus, get him over there then kick him back out again!

Suspect something will be sorted and he'll be allowed in eventually though.

Oh dear, No-Vax didn't get what he expected

This is going to be the best episode of Border Force ever.

Theres a female tennis player on the tour who has been banned from playing in Aus even though fully vaxxed because she had sputnik which aus doesnt currently accept.

Madness if DJ got to play and she cant even though shes had a vaccine

His dad is an absolute goon, and should be refused entry just for the lols.

Good, the bloke's an absolute **** and is getting exactly what he deserves.

I hope France, the UK and the US all take a similar stance with him.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. He's brought it all on himself.

And yeah, it would be really good if the others follow through. Hopefully they will.

He will be spitting feathers with rage.

Thinks he’s better than everyone else as usual. Well done Australia. Hope all other tournament countries follow their example because otherwise it sets an appalling example at a time when we only have some vague normality in the UK due to the vaccine rollout.

Showboat · 6 Jan 2022 at 08:38

If he had said nothing and quietly slipped into the country he could have avoided all this, but he had to poke the bear with that tweet.
Absolute moron, glad there is consequence for people who think they are untouchable. Will be fun to hear the courtside boos if he does appeal and eventually play.
Good to see Nadal is playing.. so hopefully he wins!
