Novak Djokovic, perhaps the foremost athlete on the planet, is here to defend his title. He was approved to fly here by Tennis Australia, the Vic Govt & the Prime Minister himself. He followed our rules. If deported, our reputation as a great sporting nation may never be the same

I (perhaps thankfully) have commitments the next few hours. This case will turn on whether Djokovic may increase anti-vaxx sentiment given his high profile. Thereโ€™s a strong perception heโ€™s an anti-vaxxer but, problem is, he is not. I trust the court to view it dispassionately ๐Ÿ™

Iโ€™ve met many champs. In terms of humanity and generosity of spirit, Novak is right up there. Wishing to bring joy, he underestimated this virus, & yes there are consequences. The vitriol is everywhere..sorry but think twice before condemning a man with a pure heart who screws up

Djokovic, on his worst surface, will play Ruud, on his best surface. This match though, Djokovic is not the underdog ๐Ÿ˜‰

@miyukato1121 Madam, you are acting with empathy and grace, but I believe you have nothing to apologise for. I am sad that your opportunity to advance further has been taken away.

The Australianโ€™s Rob Gotliebsen โ€œโ€ฆin the event the Government lost its case..they believe they have the power to ignore the decisions of our Federal Court-that is, they are above the law of Australia. I canโ€™t think of another more damaging statement to be put on the world stageโ€

If it was anyone else, youโ€™d say how did that guy win that set? But itโ€™s Djokovic, and against the run of play, he dug deep and found a way. Hats off

Pundits point out no difference being seeded 1 or 2. Technically, thatโ€™s true. But ask any player if they like to see their name at the top of the draw? Due to the aberration of not awarding points last year, Djokovic will not head Wimbledon menโ€™s draw. For me, not a good look.
