I don’t particularly like Novak, and I almost always support Australians, no matter how poor behaved they may be. However in this instance there is no way I could barrack for an obnoxious cretin like Kyrgios. I hope Djokovic flogs him.

Yes, even an obnoxious cretin like Nick Kyrgios deserves the presumption of innocence until his case is heard.

TA adopted a ”no dickheads” policy for the finals. Consequently the ferals didn’t get in the gate.

Very impressive and gracious speech from Collins. Would not have been easy in the circumstances. I had not been a fan of hers until now. Well done.

He is a ********* disgrace!

He is.

What are we talking about here?

From someone who’s never been to Florida, what do typical Florida residents look like?

Looks like this match is going to be over quicker than Ash’s match. I can see Collins being a real handful in the final. Hits the ball hard with a lot more control than Keys showed. Also seems to play well under pressure. Would not surprise if she caused an upset in the final. I’m already...

Collins has certainly started off well here. Her game face demeanour looks like that of an ice maiden Not sure I’d want to get on the wrong side of her.

Yes, the fawning,sycophantic endorsement by the channel 9 commentary team of the K’s woeful behaviour has been nauseating.

Nothing hypocritical about what Venus said. Kyrgios carries on like an absolute tool on court towards his opponents. Consequently Venus doesn’t respect him as a person, and was fully justified in saying what he did. Kokkinakis is heading the same way. If the same thing happened to Kyrgios...

Upon being informed of your gallant offer, both girls now doing their utmost to lose the match. I can't work out why though. You would be a good catch for any young lady.

De Minaur just doesn’t have the power or game to ever match it with the big boys. Needs another 7-8kg of muscle on his skinny frame for starters. Looks like a little boy compared to a lot of other players. Has to work too hard and cover too much ground to win his points. I think Courier said...

Well we got there in the end. Bit messy, but the right outcome was achieved. The upshot was that a renowned, very rich and unrepentant anti vaxxer tried to circumvent our vaccination rules, by virtue of a contrived medical exemption cooked up between Craig Tiley and himself. I couldn’t care...

Bit churlish there.

Australian embassy in Belgrade have upgraded their security rating to extreme.

Reckon when Novak flies out tomorrow, Kyrgios should be on the same flight. Both campaigners on the same level.

Depends on the wording of your post. Were you judicious?

Your point is?

Anti vax nutters marching in support of Djokovic in Melbourne today have certainly not done his cause any good. They were treating him as their poster boy in the demonstration. Tends to bear out the rationale of the minister’s decision.

If, and when I get to travel o/s again, I might skip Serbia, not that I was planning to go there anyway. Reception for Aussies may be a trifle frigid in some quarters. You’d also want to make sure all your travel documents were in order. Border Force Serbia wouldn’t be giving any benefit of the...

Tough! Such important matters are not considered and decisions made to fit in with Judge Kelly’s convenience.

The longer this drags on the more I’m getting the vibe that the Govt are going to wimp this. They’re taking so long because the spin doctors are working on a narrative to try and justify the backdown, and make it look like a victory.

Would be nice if Hawke announced his decision BEFORE the men’s final is played.

Hopefully Hawke waiting until TA and Tiley release the draw, thinking they’re home free, then comes in over the top and says “Piss off Novak”. Decision delayed just to cause maximum disruption to TA and Tiley for their arrogant conniving to get Djokovic into the event, no matter what.

No, I’m not the arbiter, otherwise he’d already be back in Belgrade. However as far as I and many others are concerned, he’s not welcome.

Surely if the minister revokes Djokovic’s visa he should accept the decision and go graciously. If he digs his heels in and applies for an injunction he will lose a lot of the little support he has. It is pretty clear that the vast majority of the Australian people believe that he shouldn’t be...

Cryptkeeper, I responded to one of your very early comments on this subject, during which I made some personal comments, which were totally uncalled for. I have now deleted that post, and apologise for any offence and hurt that may have caused.

He could certainly do with some good PR. Public opinion has swung decidedly against him.
