I see the arrogant so and so is contesting the decision. He needs to be put back on the first flight out of Oz. Also ban him from every major tennis tournament in the world until he conforms.

From the BBC

The row over Novak Djokovic's arrival in Australia has drawn some strong comments from Serbia's leader.

President Aleksandar Vucic said the Serb sporting star was a victim of "harassment" and the "the whole of Serbia" supported him.

The player's father, Srdjan Djokovic, has also been complaining, saying his son was initially held in a room guarded by police. "This is not just a fight for Novak, but a fight for the whole world," he said.

Later, the world number one was taken to a government detention hotel. Outside, supporters expressed anger at his treatment. "It's an international scandal and the world is watching," a Serbian woman, called Jelena, told the BBC.

Australia's PM Scott Morrison denied the visa cancellation was because of "any particular position in relation to Serbia", describing the nation as "a good friend of Australia".

A country has the right to make its own border rules, its as simple as that.
It's his choice to go and satisfy the rules or stay home.

I really don't get Djokovic's issue. He has his position around Covid injections etc. He is entitled to decide what happens regarding his body but to be grandstanding like this is just plain ridiculous and actually quite hilarious.

He wants to get into a country when he cannot satisfy entry / visa rules. So he can't get in. Full stop. End of story. Where's the argument?

BTW this is not remotely close to being "a fight for the whole World" :roll:

Because he won his appeal in Court which means he technically can play but the immigration Minister has the last say as to whether he can, bloody confusing looking from the outside!!!!
