Schedule for round 1 has been released. Djokovic at the moment will be playing the 2nd game on the night session.

If the federal court decides that he will be deported he will be replaced with a lucky loser.

 

What is it with all these people saying that the World #1 is being treated unfairly and being disrespected. As far as I can see Ash is being treated and respected very well.

BREAKING

Novak Djokovic has failed his last-ditch court hearing. He is set to be deported and miss the Australian Open.

That NYTimes opinion column says that an extraordinary 90 percent of Australians are fully vaccinated. (and it links its source).

So yeah Australians are angry that an antivax idiot felt entitled come to Australia to compete.

There's other stuff in that opinion column about politicians having unfirm rules.

But the 90% stood out to me.

Its interesting to read which players are defending Novak. All the trumpsters to Pospisil to Cornet... Funny how she is attacking other tennis players who didn't come to his defense and defending Novak... She's known for her shady sh!t too!

Australian tennis great Mark Woodforde pointed out, however, that medical exemptions in Australia were for people who could not get vaccinated because of a recent case of Covid, not for people who got Covid but had never intended to get vaccinated, and that Tennis Association should have been clear on this point from the outset.

David Law, the BBC tennis correspondent, however, pointed out that it could all have been simple if one of two things had happened: “1) Get vaccinated, Novak, like 97 of the other Top 100,” or “2) Have a rule that says you get vaccinated or you don’t play (unless your reason is so acute, and so beyond doubt that nobody sensible can dispute it).”

    • 6-6   Hmmmm. Not my favorite of the week. However, it showed the strength of Jazmen's script writing against RC's breakdown. And he's good enough to rise above almost all of RC's tics. Though I guess the real question would be would I have caught 'Carl' author thing if I had not heard it mentioned here?

      I felt the stories moved and while there were situations, they weren't the slapsticky I would expect from a RC breakdown. Well-done, Jazmen.   I guess I liked it on a second viewing. I'm just sorry that outside of Bill's subplot and Chelesa's love life C plot, it did not continue the majority of the stories that were going on this week. I still liked what I got so I guess it was worth it for potential flow interruption. Though I have to note that Eva and Kat have been dancing around each other all week and since it is a by-product of the SilkPress storyline, I love how the story can be used separate from the main part of that plot, which kept this episode with a thread attached to the main stories of this week.   It has been a minute since I saw a situation where a character has to get into someone's room and it seems plausible. Of course, Kat has to use her family name. That said...those scenes did not seem implausible at all, but that could be my industry experience showing. Meanwhile, Eva and Tomas continue to grow closer. But even I had to side-eye when he finally declared his interest for Kat. Because it seem like he had been working hard to give mixed signals to Eva and Kat. And NOW he's devoted to Kat? And I am smh at Kat thinking Eva is the one who ran Laura off the road now. Just le sigh. BUT keeps their rivalry going if she accuses Eva and it turns out to be false. Eva will be looking for the payback. And she will be justified.   I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed the Doug/Vanessa/Joey scenes. I've mentioned it before, but of all the B stories, it was the only one that was given enough room to grow and had a build to it. And you could cut the tension in that room with a knife. Everyone gave a good performance. You could see the distance between Doug and Vanessa. And for all that drama...there still was more to play with the other shoe dropping of Doug finding out Vanessa and Joey slept together. Just juicy. Even if the end goal apparently seems to be money laundering.   Lord...Bill wasn't really even out of the hospital for an episode without having to go back in again, was he? lol. Good to see his separate story progressing.    Same for Chelesa and her love life. I'm not sure if Naomi is right. That said, I do like the cliffhanger of Mystery Woman being Bill's doctor. Not to mention Kat with the evidence.
