Yeah, they’ll go with the offical line that a positive test doesn’t automatically provide an exemption. But I reckon all of the dodgy shit that has come up after forced his hand.

I don't think anyone's hand has been forced here. It is pure political expediency. I don't like Novak, and I don't think he should have been given an exemption in the first place, but this is a farce.

When I say “hand was forced” I mean by weight of popular (voters’) opinion.

It’s not the point of what he’s done. McEnroe did worse but he is now loved. Novak won’t be. Ever. Why I wonder?

I think McEnroe is a great speaker. He captures you as he talks.Well spoken and smart. Reminds me of Sterling in some ways.
I do not see Rafa or even Federer having commentary careers.
Novak will be more Pistol Pete. Retire and won't hear much about him.

Lol no wonder he doesn't post photos in the cooking thread.
What do Irish even eat? Btw we caught a baby rabbit and we are feeding it fistles to soften it up and make it tender and juicy. Than I will fry it. Stay tuned for photos

Only in your overly worked up, overly sensitive, irrational Novak loving mind. Go and sleep it off and come back tomorrow with some common f**ken sense.

That’s because Americans, Indians, Chinese, Pauls and Russians are all massive racists.

Almost as much as the Irish


(I really wanted to replace the nationalities with derogatory terms but chickened out with the Chinese)

I never really believed the aussies hate djokovic thing. I have Mediterranean Descendant (not serb) inlaws and they love him and too believe aussies hate him. I always thought it was more that they just loved federer and djoko was a threat to him.

But i realise it IS a thing. And i think it probably IS a bit because he is a serb. Serbs got heavily tarnished in australia during the balkan wars - mostly cos the yanks decided they were the baddies (there were baddies on all sides) and australia just follow the yanks like little lambs.

I also used to think most of it was cos djoko was soft at several aussie opens early in his career, retiring from games. And aussies just dont like that.

But i think at the moment its the whole unvaxed thing. There is incredible hate over it. People are looking for people to hate. And i think vaxed people are struggling to accept they are spreading it like wildfire and are just as much a risk to the country's health as djoko is.
