COVID-19 and Tennis

I'd still like to hear it directly from someone who can confirm they personally saw/heard the judges say it was unanimous.

It's probably my decades of conditioning against hearsay kicking in

It's now time to get on with the Australian Open and get back to enjoying tennis over the summer.

Agree, Novak's game was boring as hunting for fly droppings to watch anyway (in my opinion), so the quality of tennis games should improve as well!

I watched the judgement streamed live, and can confirm that it was advised to be a unanimous decision by those presiding, and that detailed reasons in writing would follow in time.

Cheers,
Matt.

So now with Australia recognized Sputnik V for travel purposes (which is big mistake by itself), are they going to fix this?

View attachment 268453
Russian player Natalia Vikhlyantseva was unable to travel to Australia due to her vaccine, Sputnik V, not being recognised by Australian authorities.
Would be nice to see their reaction if Joko decide to get SputnikV just for coughs and giggles TGA emergency authorization on the same day.

You can find online video copies of the decision's presentation.

Eg: The Federal Court delivers decision in Novak Djokovic case

At 00:25 "The court is in a position to make orders which are unanimous..."

So there are several pictures of him in the Marhaba lounge at Melbourne this evening (including posted above).

I'm confused I thought there was a vaccine requirement that to access venues (which includes airline lounges) in Victoria you had to be vaccinated or had a *legit* exemption.

The airport is a Federal jurisdiction. A passenger has to check in and wait somewhere in the terminal, even deported pax. (Besides which, the government didn’t need any further outrage from reports he was kept in an isolation room! )

Although the RT news initially reported...

Are you watching Russia Today? what a surprise

Are you watching Russia Today? what a surprise

I don't get my news from TV but read widely so I can make up my mind on issues.
I read those from the right,the left and in the middle. You are as likely to read false news in all of them. More often news that is not in agreement with their fixed views goes unreported.

So an official release from the Prime Minister rates lower than someone else whom you also haven't really met on AFF?

I love the article in the Murdoch press today - Novax was seen entering the plane and turned left - FFS

I don't think he'd be on flyDubai

A outlet just posted a photo, definitely is FlyDubai. Looks like he was lucky and landed a brand new MAX with the new seats. Actually looks pretty good. These are the seats I want to see on QF and VA.

I guess it depends on the row number ...

He is limited with options getting anywhere being unvaxxed. I’m fairly sure Etihad and Qatar are both vaccination only.

Emirates group is one of the very few long haul carriers available to him.

I guess he can just use BizJets. His worth what half a billion? I guess he couldn’t get one lined up in time .

I totally agree with overall strategy and trying to do the same where possible.
But for me in case of RT its a way too far into pure, refined, best in the world brainwash.

Take their coverage on vaccination.
All their overseas channels broadcasting heavy antivax BS (like RT Germany recently shut down by German authorities) in a bid to stall vaccination on the West.
But for local consumption it's 100% opposite truing to rise humiliating vaccination tally and make up ppls mind in a way Russia got best response to pandemic.

 

[Saab34]

Wonder how much a bizjet costs? 3 of them Melb to Serbia in F is over $10k each. Probably much more once you add in the Emirates VIP service for celebrities.

Is there any other direction?

Actually very few carriers stipulate vaccination as a condition of carriage, certainly not ME, European or US airlines (generally).

I watched it live and heard the word unanimous too.
