Rumours indicating he has been re-detained...

Vax rules exist for a reason. A message is about to be reminded to all.

Last year it was exemptions to enter the country and the tournament not vaccinations - the AO did occur and the sky did not fall.

And yet it didn't make holding the tournament right

Remember kicking people out of the stadium at 1130pm so they could be home in time for the 1159pm start of a fresh lockdown?

Ridiculous

I'm not saying it was right or wrong, just that it occurred and it is not a matter of no vaccination, no AO.

But by the same token - last year was made 'safe' by quarantine bubbles, which I believe all players abided by.

Sounds like Mr Hawke has made the call.

Except for the times Craig Tiley said no vaccine no play of course...

In the age of social media, this has become the most important link for the media to watch for the next 2-3 hours.

How does an AFP officer attempt to arrest.

I doubt the lawyers wish to be charged with harbouring anyone.

Agree - but it still occurred. Maybe if the player in question had to quarantine, would he have been allowed to enter maybe? No view on this.
Actually I don't like the tennis so never watch it,

This year, the players (association?) were initially rebelling about having to quarantine again - so in respect of the comment you were replying to, IMHO its correct to say if no there was vaccination then no AO.

I’d say it’s not the AFP but probably ABF. Border force already have been with him the duration of the court case at the Rialto. They probably got the comms not long after and now his lawyers are trying to work out ‘what’s next’

I don’t think there was anything they can do next? His out on tonight’s EK flight essentially.

Not being reported here as far as I can see.

Why is that? Didn't the judge say Djokovic has a further avenue after the Minister for Immigration cancels/revokes the visa?

AFP vans have entered the car park now apparently. Looks like his done.

In other news, Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios is in huge doubt for the Australian Open after contracting COVID-19 just a week out from the season-opening major.

Kyrgios pulled out of the Sydney Tennis Classic on Monday just hours before his match against Italian firebrand Fabio Fognini.

The 26-year-old withdrew from the Melbourne Summer Set last week with a mystery illness that sparked his asthma.

The world No.114 was cleared of Covid-19 at the time, but on Monday confirmed he had contracted the virus.

The Australian Open begins on January 17, giving him just a week to recover and be cleared to return.

If Kyrgios does feature at the Australian Open, he will do so without playing competitively since September.

“I just want to be open and transparent with everyone, the reason I have had to pull out of Sydney is because I tested positive for COVID,” Kyrgios posted on his Instagram story.

“I am feeling healthy at the moment with no symptoms.

“I wish everyone all the best and to stay safe where you can. If all goes well I will see you all at the Australian Open.”

Really, I think it was in someone's mind - and they thought they were on a winner

Wasn't it the Victorian Govt and Daniel Andrews and TA who implemented the No Vax No play rule? Agree that with the uproar it did seem like a good thing to latch on to but he seized an opportunity (and what politician doesn't!) rather than create the situation where a non vaxxed non citizen gets to come and play.

And had to quarantine prior.

Sounds like is was just VicPol escorting Novak and his equipment to the Rialto

Look forward to watching him play.

If you have rotting vegetables please feel free to send to my hotel and I can ‘pass’ them on
