Novak's lawyers knew this outcome had no appeal? remember they pushed for 3 judges in the first placeThe Court decision is "final": Jocko must pay all parties legal fees & leave the country, yet Joko's lawyers are saying they are considering all option including "temporary injunction allowing him to stay & play AO" I frankly don't understand that. Probably it's just a groundless pep tack: lawyers pocket their money to always muddy the waters. Joko himself conceded his AO quest saying "thank you" to his supporters, and although disappointed, he will be "cooperating with the relevant authorities and leaving the country".
It was Djokovic's lawyers that asked for it to be seen in front of 3 judges, making it an "all or nothing" final judgement, if I'm not wrong. (And I have been wrong a lot here. Ask @MargaretMcAleer.) I don't see what appeal there is, now. But that is what lawyers get paid for.The Court decision is "final": Joko must pay all parties legal fees & leave the country, yet Joko's lawyers are saying they are considering all option including "temporary injunction allowing him to stay & play AO".

Hey Margaret, another question. The players seeded below N.D. will they be promoted up the order now or is this too late to change? Or does the tournament just go ahead without a #1 seed ?Tennis was the biggest winner here today....thanks to all the 3 judges!
He deserves to be deported to South Africa and T.A. should appoint a born and bred Australian for a change.Come out Craig Tiley and face the music like a man....I hope they tear up your contract when the AO is finished this year
You enabled Novak to come here in the first place....
I'll jump in and see if others do. It has been addressed. The draw stands. (Same as at USO when Murray withdrew after the draw was made in 2017.) Since the schedule for Monday was already made, a Lucky Loser (Salvatore Caruso) gets inserted in Novak's slot, but everything else remains the same.Hey Margaret, another question.

Because the order of play has come out for Monday the 17th,at 4pm local time,with still a decision pending a LL will now take Novaks place...Medvedev will now become the top seedHey Margaret, another question.

Indeed, they lawyers wanted it and now they don't want... Joker hired bad lawyers. They have no integrity, or the level of integrity of uhmm... forgotten his name... 45th president of the United States.Novak's lawyers knew this outcome had no appeal? remember they pushed for 3 judges in the first place
The draw must be shuffled to fill in a missing player. I think 17th seed will be promoted to the place occupied by now missing #1, and the first lucky looser to #17Hey Margaret, another question.

I guess this improves Nadal's chances of winning his second A.O. now. Mox and Margaret must be thrilled, AYEIndeed, they lawyers wanted it and now they don't want... Joker hired bad lawyers.

Yeah i know but i want to see an unbiased expose by the FOUR CORNERS program on Tennis Australia and the Victorian State Government's processes in granting a visa and why the two bodies are not more in harmony with the fed's.Tennis was the biggest winner here today....thanks to all the 3 judges!
I am also happy (not thrilled because I'm not Rafa's fan) Rafa deserves to get 21th slam and stay ahead of Joker. Medvedev stopped Joker in USO (molodets!) now Minister Alex did the same feat in AO (and possibly next 3 AOs), and even without playing tennis (!)I guess this improves Nadal's chances of winning his second A.O. now. Mox and Margaret must be thrilled, AYE
It is no shock to anyone that this improves Nadal's chances. It actively improves everyone's chances. But since you cite Margaret and me, particularly, I think I can speak for both of us to say that we have been active on these forums and on this question. With news and information. There has been a fairnesss question out there, legal questions, and if you think that we've been having all this conversation and debate just to booster Rafa's chances, I don't think you've been paying attention.I guess this improves Nadal's chances of winning his second A.O. now.

Hey hold your horses with Rafa winning his 2nd AO,I have been at the AO when Rafa has been in the final....it is not his best AO sad to sayI guess this improves Nadal's chances of winning his second A.O. now. Mox and Margaret must be thrilled, AYE
Well yes but in my defence i only visit here on selective basis.It is no shock to anyone that this improves Nadal's chances. It actively improves everyone's chances.

Enjoy the cricket my friend....hey what about Ash Barty...Oi,Oi,Oi,Margaret , i'm outta of here as the Cricket is on now.
Hope your guy prevails as i don't have any favorite apart from Roger who's as good as finished. Adios , my friend.
I know, on the music side, and I love your contributions. Always good to hear your opinion.Well yes but in my defence i only visit here on selective basis.
If Rafa was playing well, I’d agree, but he’s way off the pace. I think he’ll do well to get to the quarters. But for sure, as Moxie said, this improves everyone’s chances. But it’ll be interesting to see who handles the pressure. Medvedev is marginally the favourite now. And it’s one thing to enter these events with a chance, while somebody else has the big target on their back. But now Medvedev has a bigger target on his back, and not all players like that…I guess this improves Nadal's chances of winning his second A.O. now. Mox and Margaret must be thrilled, AYE
