Novak Visa Cancelled

[seekeerz]

The leader says it all !!

[seekeerz]

It’s been a shambles from the get go, the govt has made a hash of it as well, but he’d be a fool to continue now - if he just quietly leaves people will ‘forget’ when the next open comes around.

On a lighter note, wee Andy is battling a great hairy American 3 all in the third set ... hope Andy wins he looks in good nick !!

[DTCwordfan]

Made my day....t--ts that he and his family have been over this. Drop the x in Novax now as when it comes to the Ozzie Open, it's now 'No Go Djokovic.'

[1ozzy]

Self importance should not matter.
Doesn't seem to have swayed opions here.

[diddlydo]

Good riddance Novax. Let's hope the Australian Government get him on the next flight back to Serbia.

[ichkeria]

All I’d say is that the reason given is absolutely ridiculous
By all means deport him for deceit or irregularities in his documentation

[murraymints]

His Visa could/should have been summarily dismissed... he did not qualify for Visa .. end of..

[1ozzy]

So popular opinion indicates that Novax and his entourage told porkies to play tennis in Aus.
Shame on them.

[DTCwordfan]

I believe his lawyers are going to question the decision.....

[emmie]

shambolic -

[ichkeria]

They are using a get-out (so to speak) clause in their strict immmigration laws and it does look awfully like the game of politics is being played.
As the UK government is finding, if you are perceived not to be applying draconian legislation fairly then you can run into trouble

[murraymints]

legislation is legislation and it applies to all..regardless of how one regards it !

[DTCwordfan]

there was mention that he could be challenged here as to getting to Wimbledon.

[seekeerz]

Very likely he will appeal but he is out of the Open as of now, so he might as well pack his bags and head out !!

[murraymints]

does "good character" come into play for a UK visa ?

[fender62]

sorry but i do not understand why this guy is taking up so much tv news, why does anyone care i just don't get it, just a ball whacker.

[murraymints]

will there be a redraw ? or does his opponent gets a by into next round ??

[seekeerz]

As I understand it- no redraw, they’ve shuffled the seedings and his opponent gets a by - Medvedev is now fav to win

[DTCwordfan]

minty - lol - maybe he'll take to an illegal craft to cross La Manche..

[1ozzy]

If Novax and his entourage told the truth to start with he could possibly be playing tennis and cement his claim to being the worlds best.
Alas, that doesn't appear to be happening.
So be it.

My wife claims she heard on the radio that a "lucky loser" will get his place in the draw. For the uninformed, "Lucky losers" are those who just failed to qualify.
