    A career of under-achievement after a promising start. Not mentally tough enough.

    At least she’s not dragging it out like Heather ‘Wildcard’ Watson. Absolute embarrassment.

    Yes but HW needs to keep feigning the "professional tennis player" job to keep her lucrative (well, compared to her tennis career) "Always" tv adverts.

    Very brave move considering the amount of cash that China put into the tour and that the WTA,like the ITF are as poor as a church mouse.
    About time though,still no real news about Peng.

    Medivet seems to enjoy winding people up, making a career out of it.

    My word the LTA finance team are something else!

    I did some consultancy work for the tutoring department during January and February of this year.

    My invoice was submitted but the finance team request you fill in another form and submit that too.

    All done and no payment.

    It transpires they have lost the original invoice, despite having the other form with identical information to the invoice.

    I have resubmitted the invoice.

    A friend tells me the events and tournaments department lost her entry for the U 12 nationals where she would have been seeded 3 and 2 in the doubles. Her mother told her this just before she died three years ago. Barbara is 48 now!

    Plus ca change!

    Nearly the whole of Australia seems furious about the Djokovic exemption now - and rightly so.

    Yeah, a “mistake on his visa”. Right.

    Absolutely great work by Australia border control. How stupid was it to grant the anti vac lunatic an exemption in the first place?

    I hope all you tennis fans are all clapping slowly in unison until this visa issue is finally decided.

    I’m playing a the World’s tiniest violin for him.

    He’s tried to claim a medical exemption with no evidence for it. Sorry, those are the rules there and he can abide by them or go home and sob to consipraloons and weirdos on Twitter about it.

    This lunacy has just been explained on R4: the State of Victoria gave him an exception to enter its territory. Unfortunately he entered via an airport which had its entry points maintained by the Federal Australian Border Force which did not issue the exemption...

    Because Craig Tiley,TD at the AO thinks he's the Aussie PM!
    Harvey Becker,the old wag,has claimed Novak has changed his surname to 'Seen'.
    Mr IBB did say yesterday when we were discussing it over a cup of something almost entirely unlike tea,that ND would not be allowed in.
    That's twice he's been right in eighteen years!

    As I undersatnd it NoVax Djokovic hasn't supplied the right visa, or sufficient medical information to back up his non-vacinated status to enter Oz. The Oz government are under pressure because the public think they're letting celebs off whilst average joe can't cross state lines.

    Can't see him playing tbh.

    My word!
    Djokovic Snr, Serbian PM and seemingly all of Serbia playing the victim card now.
    Rafa summed it up succinctly.
    I'm sorry for him but he has known about this for sometime and he had a choice. Or words to that effect.

    As the world number one tennis player he's likely to be one of the fittest people on the planet, so it's hardly surprising that everyone else is finding it difficult to believe that he has a medical condition that prevents him from being vaccinated.

    It's called hubris and is usually punished by the gods ( tennis in this case).

    Meanwhile back on the court,a brilliant match at the ATP Cup between Roberto Batista Augut and Hubert Hurkacz.
    RBA wins in a third set tie break to take Spain into the final to play Canada or Russia.

    Canada triumph.
    So a typical ND match then?
    His lawyers make less errors than the Aussies.
    What an unholy mess!
    No real winner as nobody comes out of this **** show with any credit.

    A serbian might not be allowed to play in an Australian tennis tournament. Why is this headline news here?
     
  35. The undeniable truth

    The undeniable truth First Team Captain

    It's pretty clear that his camp simply got a friendly Serbian doctor to "knock up" a quick certificate to pretend he had had covid on a convenient date. They may even have asked the Pozzos who best to use. Of course they hadn't thought that this would suggest he had attended events indoor over the next couple of days knowing he had the virus hence his family not answering the Qs at the press conference. Oops.
