Wait, Djokovic has been stuck at the border for several hours? The border patrol isn't letting him in because of a technicality - whoever filled out his visa application chose the wrong one, not the type for entering on a medical exemption. This is wild.

So either the official who said that Novax's petition followed the rules is lying or he tested positive for Covid in the last 6 months. Maybe he tested positive after the year end championships.
And this border thing is kind of funny. I can just see him fuming on his private jet.

I listened to this press conference earlier today. One of the government officials seems to say that the documents they got had all the right stamps but that no effort was made to contact the actual doctors. I'm not sure if the documents were translated either.

Re: WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022
H played Davis Cup after the year-end championships. He was playing until early December. he had a 6-week break between the US Open and his next tournament. So unless he conveniently got Covid during one of those two windows (Sept or Dec) or was playing with Covid, he probably doesn't have it. An antibody test would set the record straight.dmforever wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 5:39 pm So either the official who said that Novax's petition followed the rules is lying or he tested positive for Covid in the last 6 months.

If he doesn't get in, his Slam days could well be over. It's either get the shot or stop playing tennis. So dramatic. Maybe he will invent a fifth Slam in Serbia.

Re: WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022
If I see one more thing about the medical exemption process being anonymous. Give me a damn break. Craig Tiley's been telling everyone for weeks that this application was coming, so unless the panel has been sequestered and cut off from all media this entire time, they knew it was on the horizon. Nothing about it has been hidden.
And I'm sure his name wasn't listed. But when they see a 32 year old that's 6' 2" from Serbia needing access to the Aussie Open, only those born yesterday would think this likely highly educated panel would struggle to unpack that mystery and know which person to rubber stamp.

Probably still a Top 10 hit in Eastern Europe.
Pops is in Serbia, so he's suggesting a rally there, I guess. Maybe also hoping to inspire the large Serbian community in Melbourne.

Re: WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022
This is a good point. Also, he was seen in public cheering on a Belgrade basketball team in mid-December and then he got honored with that stamp a few days later. And was practicing in Spain by the end of December. So his December window is really very slim for when he could have legitimately gotten covid, assuming he isolated for the required time. And Jelena's activities also cast doubt on that September window as good timing too, assuming she'd be a close contact since she was definitely in NY with him.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 6:58 pm

Oh, I don't have a doubt people in Serbia will back him, whatever it is. He is god down there. If he comes down with Covid and says so, and of course nothing will happen to him (he had it before), people in Serbia will catch C19 just to "be like Novak".
I said it before. He will be president of Serbia one day. He is ambitious enough and people will vote for the charismatic candidate over the prepared one always.
