Sounds like the Djoker situation could extend into the French Open...ugh! I am not one that cheers for him but I willingly admit how great he is! But this is getting tiresome:

Djokovic could be barred from French Open

Novak Djokovic could be barred from playing in the French Open as things stand now after the Sports Ministry said Monday there would be no exemption from France's new vaccine pass law.

Seems like there's only one person who is at fault for that and could fix it any time

The Australian government is at fault for not having clear rules. If they had clear rules, Djokovic wouldn’t have even attempted to come and there would be no problems.

That article is about France. Try to keep up

The way they handle it in the NFL makes the most sense. If you aren’t vaxxed wear a mask except when you’re competing. It’s pretty simple. Australia is definitely off of my list of countries to visit. I don’t do fascism.

Muguruza in trouble...down a set. That would be a very early exit for the #3 seed. Nice day in Melbourne but the next few days are supposed to be in the 90s so that might impact play.

And she is gone! #3 gets beat.

Anyone watching tennis tonight? I thought Azarenka/Svitolina would be a good watch but Azarenka is dominating her in the first set. Might have to check out the other matches that are being played.

Watching every night. Agree on the Victoria/Mrs. Monfils match, but what a beat down. Simona looks really good so far on the women's side and still has a pretty favorable draw in front of her. Hoping Keys can get it together and the potential Ash/Osaka match next round could show you your winner on the women's side.

Match of the day is Opelka/Denis. Would love to Reilly make a breakthrough at a major. Fritz has also looked good so far, but that section of the draw isn't doing him any favors. Meddy Bear looks unbeatable again, but that's why they play the matches.

Hearing reports today than many other players tested positive after arriving in Australia and they are playing because they were vaccinated. Djokovic also apparently had covid at the beginning of December so he is more protected than the vaccinated players by any scientific, medical or logical metric. He also tested negative upon arrival, unlike others that were allowed to stay.

By all accounts, he followed the "rules", which is why he went in the first place. Then they changed the rules and deported him.

Didn't djokovic claim without evidence he had a medical exemption which he was due to having covid recently and basically the Australian government said lol nah you don't have a valid medical exemption for that reason. Not sure what rule was changed allegedly. And he also lied on his travel documents

Yep. Winner of the Australian “open” gets the biggest asterisk In the history of asterisks.

Like I said. Huge dooshbag. People not from Australia are the guests of Australia, not Australian citizens. Aussies don’t bow or defer to celebrity like we do here.

Two years ago I thought Osaka was on her way to dominating the women's side of tennis...and she still might but she just can't get back on track!

Australians would be devastated that you and Djokovic will not be seen in Australia

Uh oh...sounds like some fireworks in the Nadal/Shapovalov match. I need to go find some highlights of that one. At this point I would like to see Nadal win it...but would be OK with a new champ being crowned. Just hope for some good quality tennis to finish it out!

Nadal’s stalling tactics and potty break messed with his head, the desired effect I guess

I am not sure what they can do about that issue...I mean...can you tell an adult they don't have permission to go to the bathroom? I known in team sports it is different...but I just don't have a solution to that issue and it certainly gets abused. Not saying it was abused in this case since I haven't watched it yet.
