I assume they're trying to wait as long as possible, so that they can adjust the draw if Djokovic gets banned.



By the way, does anyone know a place to get a GOOD printable draw. The draws at the AO tournament site, aside from being hard to read, is mis-formatted so that the top half of each draw prints on two pages instead of one, as usual.

It indicates that a Lucky Loser will simply be inserted into Djokovic's spot. (I guess he could tell his grandchildren one day that he was once the 'top seed' at the Australian Open!)

.
No, that's only true if Djokovic (or any seed) is out after the first day's match schedule is released. If there's a "withdrawal" before then, there's a shuffling of seeds up the draw (number five into Djokovic's spot, number nine into five's spot, etc.).
Because this is a very unique circumstance, they seem to have decided to do things differently (and more simply) than the regulation states - i.e. to just insert the Lucky Loser into Djokovic's spot so as to disturb the draw as little as possible.
That's what the article states.

But who really knows what's happening with any of this at this point? Things seem to change by the hour...

He's the last match up on Laver. I don't think they could've done anything else at this point.

So another unforced error/serious mistake from the AO organizers. Instead of waiting for two more hours, they release the OOP and now cannot reshuffle the draw. At least if they stick the rules, but that seems far from certain considering everything they have done the last couple of weeks/months...

To me, this is the most simple and logical way to replace Djokovic in the draw.
While it does seem strange to put a Lucky Loser in the spot for the top seed, doing so ensures that the rest of the draw is not disturbed at all.
Overall, it's the best they can do in my view.

Now let's hope that Lucky Loser takes advantage of the position and wins the tournament! :lol:

I found this on TennisTwitter already. Nothing on the official site has changed.

It's good that Salvatore has a beard.
I don't think Novak has the time to grow one that good in only about 27 hours...

I hope the Aussie crowd cheer wildly for Caruso and provide him with a positive experience he'll remember forever. :D

GO GET 'EM, SALVATORE!!!!

Djokovic confirms he is out of Australian Open

A statement from Novak Djokovic:

I would like to make a brief statement to address the outcomes of today’s Court hearing.

I will now be taking some time to rest and to recuperate, before making any further comments beyond this.


I am extremely disappointed with the Court ruling to dismiss my application for judicial review of the Minister’s decision to cancel my visa, which means I cannot stay in Australia and participate in the Australian Open.

I respect the Court’s ruling and I will cooperate with the relevant authorities in relation to my departure from the country.

I am uncomfortable that the focus of the past weeks has been on me and I hope that we can all now focus on the game and tournament I love.

I would like to wish the players, tournament officials, staff, volunteers and fans all the best for the tournament.

Finally, I would like to thank my family, friends, team, supporters, fans and my fellow Serbians for your continued support. You have all been a great source of strength to me.

I watched Caruso play a couple of times, he’s one of those players that has the game to be a top 50 regular, but not the mentality. Maybe this is just the lucky break he needs

Caruso is also a bit of a babe. And, his name being Caruso doesn't hurt, either. Nor the fact that he isn't Novak. :gorgeous:
