The Farce Continues ….

[seekeerz]

Novak’s lawyers have appealed and the hearing will be before Justice Kelly who overturned the original ruling ….this could get very interesting/messy before its all over ….what is the saying…’we live in interesting times’

[Maydup]

Messy indeed big let’s hope the decision stands and they send him home. He’s a lying toe rag!

[Sqad]

The world is full of "lying toe rags."

[dannyk13]

Why is he bothering, does he need the money?

[Ken4155]

Danny, obviously he doesn't need the money but the Aussie Open is Djoko's tournament. He has won it 9 times - first time in 2008, then again in 2011 and every year since. He is bidding to outgun Nadal and Federer and become the GOAT.

[mushroom25]

looks like the full hearing is defer until sunday. the Oz government have undertook to not initiate removal proceedings.

looks like a fudge is on the cards.....

[seekeerz]

Wouldn’t matter how many times I’d won something ....the idea of calling myself a GOAT...I know what it stands for but most people snigger when it’s mentioned !!

[THECORBYLOON]

KEN, Federer won it in 2017 and 2018, in 2014, Stan Wawrinka won it.

[ichkeria]

If he’s deported he could be banned from the country for three years I believe

[Ken4155]

Seekerz, surely you meant to say most children snigger when it's mentioned.
TCL; My bad. I meant that Djoko had won it each and every time he has reached the final - 9 times in total. If he had won it every year since 2011, that total would be a dozen:-)

[mushroom25]

matter transferred to the Federal Court to hear. not sure what that means, but Djokovic's team wanted it to stay with Judge Kelly.

[pat2604]

Just send him home. Don't give special privileges! Australian customs officers are very strict. I found that out!!

[sevenOP]

"’we live in interesting times’" ( probable justifies triple quotation marks, a sort of 'booster' )

As can be seen with the redefining of 'vaccine' and 'pandemic', 'disease' is a likely next candidate.... 'asymptomatic' ?, don't even go there !

DannyK // why is he bothering //

He's after the record number of wins. Money is obviously irrelevant.

[William51]

If it is overturned and he can again return to playing, will the pressure get to him and go out in the semi or quarter finals and/or will the match crowds turn on him?.
