Disappointing. Not surprising. He's an entitled twat, but if the exemption is on offer then he'll take it. I just wish he was honest. This medical exemption is a lie and should be called out as such. Especially now that he's posted about his exemption on his socials including this keeper....'may you feel love and respect towards all beings on this wonderful planet.' As if Novax. There's no room for credibility in this sea of entitlement...

I bet he is actually vaccinated but unwilling to say so, and AO is willing to give him cover..

Could be a 'non-recognized' one

If so, then every other tournament will have to give him cover, too. It's hard to sustain that kind of lie. People are going to find out more. People talk.

He's not vaccinated. Get serious here. Making up narratives to make things better than the reality, this is getting to be Aaron Rodgers like. He didn't skip the ATP Cup and wait til the last possible charter flights he could take to Australia to play in the Open because he's already vaccinated.

I don't think he is, either. I don't know who would believe that at this point.

I hope the fan capacity is at 100%. Can't wait to hear those boos raining down on his entitled ass.

Simply look at the mentality of the people around you. We are representative.
Without exception, the people that believe in vaccines and have been vaccinated, say so proudly. I do not like to use myself as an example because that is not data, that is an anecdote, but on the few occasions in which I have been asked for my vaccine card, I show it with a smile. It is the unvaccinated that start with all the crap: "oh, that is personal", "oh, I am undecided", "oh, I am doing my research", "oh, I am waiting to see how effective it is".
He is not vaccinated. 100% sure of that. And you all beat me to the comments about his entitled ass.

I hope Novak loses early so we aren't talking about this until the end of January. It could happen! If there are tennis gods, he will draw Kyrgios in the first round. Nothing would make Kyrgios play his one inspired match of the decade like the chance to knock out Djokovic in Australia under these circumstances.

The official statement from Tennis Australia should have been:
“Ladies and gentlemen, today we have made history. The participation of Mr. Djokovic has ensured that this will be the first professional tennis tournament ever played with no balls.”

Of course, it is difficult to follow the reasoning of a twisted mind..but if he were not vaccinated, he would simply say so, with a flourish, in fact, as that would play well with his base, whoever that is..the only reason to create ambiguity like this is to avoid losing face by admitting he
Is vaccinated..therefore I still believe..
But enough of this, no need to boost his ego further

saw a clip of Osaka - Cornet at Melbourne.. court looks sort of medium paced... neither fast nor slow.. seemed to suit Osaka well..but even she had her biggest serve returned towards the end, couldnt just blast it past Cornet..
