Best part about this is he’s exposed those in charge for the hypocrites they are.

Insecure people who have followed the rules for the last two years will misdirect their vitriol against him as a coping mechanism, rather than against those who have disrupted their lives for two years.
Really? Waking up this morning to see that it looks like he will be sent back home which is great news. It should have not got this far at has been poorly done on all levels but the right outcome has happened and he won't play.
you sure about that?

Breaking news:

Djokovic's visa has been cancelled.

Earlier, his lawyers said they'd appeal it if that happened. And Tsitsipas said in an interview that Djokovic was making vaxed players "look like fools".


Media have been reporting that there are questions over whether Djokovic fudged his test results. If that ends up being uncovered, I reckon public sentiment around the world will shift against him.

Andy Murray won his first AO match since 2017.

All the top players have prevailed as expected.

Looks like Kyrgios vs Medvedev is going to be the main drawcard on Thursday.

Ash has dominated her two matches. She's only dropped 3 games so far.

Defeated Tsurenko 6-0 6-1 and Bronzetti 6-1 6-1.

"Ash Barty has reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, but defending champion Naomi Osaka has been knocked out of the tournament by unseeded American Amanda Anisimova.

Barty progressed with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Italian 30th seed Camila Giorgi on Rod Laver Arena, with many observers feeling Osaka was certain to be her next opponent in the last 16.

But instead, it will be Anisimova, who scored an upset victory over the four-time major winner, claiming a 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (10-5) triumph on Margaret Court Arena."

Sadly, Murray lost a day or two ago in straight sets.

As expected, Medvedev beat Kyrgios and then called unruly fans "low IQ". :!: :lol:

Osaka was upset, so there won't be a Barty-Osaka 4th-round blockbuster.

Huge first-set tiebreaker in the Nadal match. Nadal won 16-14 after almost 1/2 hr!!

Easier for him after that...


Zverev in some trouble against Shapovalov. Shapo took the first set... Err... make that the first two sets plus break in the third. :!: Zverev is toast!!! Unless he melts down, Shapo will face Rafa next. Prolly a good result for Rafa.
