Looks like he could be deported from Australia.
Oh, dear. How sad. What a pity.

There's politics involved here, the Aus government have seen the uproar of him being allowed into the country and have had to act (or be seen to), they want him to get the record number of slams in Australia, he can appeal the decision on Monday he will more than likely be playing in Australia.
Served him right. Saying that he had an exemption on Twitter was pretty stupid. He should have said nothing even when he was through passport control in Australia.
We know there is an unwritten rule, one for the very rich and another for the rest but to rub our noses in it was unbelievable.
If he is successful on his appeal, can you imagine how aweful the reception he is likely to get when he appears on the tennis court.

You honestly think that would bother him?Red Duke wrote: ↑06 Jan 2022, 11:17 Served him right. Saying that he had an exemption on Twitter was pretty stupid. He should have said nothing even when he was through passport control in Australia.

To me, he wants to have popularity and so I think it would bother him. He doesn't understand why crowds love Federer and Nadal but are not keen on him. It is not just about winning lots of tennis matches but you also need to win over the fans with your off-court behaviour. He is very good at the former but absolutely useless with the latter.longmover wrote: ↑06 Jan 2022, 11:20You honestly think that would bother him?Red Duke wrote: ↑06 Jan 2022, 11:17 Served him right.

A nice twist in this saga this morning. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-59920379
I reckon that it is going to rebound into the face of Aussie PM, Scott Morrison.

You’d think if he had actually had it it would’ve been announced in the media like every bit of non interesting news is these daysThere had been no prior announcement of his infection.
If he hadn't announced his exemption on Twitter before flying, this would never have happened. Morrison say it was OK to be in within the rules but changed it the following day due to the furore of the Aussic public. He only did it because of an upcoming election.ctfc-fan wrote: ↑08 Jan 2022, 10:31Oh I’m not so sure, this line might hold the keyRed Duke wrote:A nice twist in this saga this morning. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-59920379

That's interesting. Tennis Australia & the State Government in Victoria are in the deep do-do then.
I love that the Aussie Government has shot itself in the foot. It is good to see for democracy that a Judicial system can stand up to a Government and say that you are not applying your laws correctly.
The problem facing the Aussie Government is that by allowing exemptions for one group of people (elite athletes) then others are going to say why doesn't it apply to me, especially going through one of worse lockdowns in the world.
With an election coming up in six months, it sounds like great vote loser.

I'll not cheer until he's actually on the plane leaving Australia - but their government have shown some balls. Apparently, he could now face a 3 year ban from applying for a new visa (as amusing as that would be, I suspect that would be waived...)

Bye bye Novak. You had freedom and liberty to make your choices. You just have to accept those choices do have consequences.
First good news to come out of Australia all winter. Could be more to come….

If this is true, and he was deliberately fabricating the timelines relating to his tests and so providing false evidence in order to gain entry, I hope the ITF and ATP investigate and look into charges of bringing the game into disrepute.
