Novak Djokovic's Vaccine Stance & Visa Troubles

[Fiero425]

No

Went back to 4:15, but the Prime Minister is about to make an announcement in minutes! We'll see if Nole can be the top seed after all this!

Tennis channel just went with that time line, as well...half an hour from now.

There has been a national cabinet meeting in Canberra today....Scot Morrison is speaking

Whatever happens, it feels like gaming the draw is going to be anti-climactic for the time being. Normally where we'd be right now is gaming where everyone lands in the draw, and who the dark horses are. Now it's just about if Djokovic is in or out. That's rather sad.

Doesn’t it seem Djoke is out? Otherwise, why disrupt the draw ceremony?

My thoughts as well…what’s the point of delaying the ceremony if he stays?

That seems reasonable.

One has to think that politicians and lawyers are frantically discussing, but it has to be all about Djokovic, and his chances aren't looking so good.

 

[Fiero425]

That seems reasonable.

Unless they're still vaccillating like the Gov'r's call to a prison to stop the execution of a prisoner who's given death penalty! Waiting last moment!

If you are Tennis Australia, you don’t want to add more unnecessary drama what already is a circus . By the way, ALL of these are happening because Tiley can’t say No to a unvaccinated player.

Sort of like that, though I'm guessing it will come down to: does Australia kick him out, or does he cut a deal and withdraw? Looking at the evidence against, I'm voting for he withdraws.

 

[10isfan]

Maybe this switcheroo is the only way the PM can get Australians to listen to him.

They're still unsure of WTF to do! The PM, Immigration Minister, all of them along with postponement of the draw! Too bizarre "down under!"

He, he, he...

AO draw will now be drawn at 4.15pm.....it is now 3.36pm here

Tick ?

 

[Fiero425]

Cam Williams is going down the Women's Draw as it's being pulled! Barty at the top of the draw; Osaka to play her in the 4th round!

 

[Moxie]

He, he, he...

Oh, apparently you think you know better? Well, maybe you do.

Any link to the draw ceremony? I'm listening to some nob on FB and that can't be official.

NOVAK is in the MEN's DRAW so far! It's top heavy with Nadal (toughest draw), Sascha Z., Rublev & Monfils!
