Being represented by such a clear anti-vaxxer/COVID denier really does the players no favours.

I expected more sooks around this time near the end. Apart from Badosa and perhaps Sorona(yes, I know you tested 10 times negative, you aren't getting out early), all the other tennis players have been very well behaved publicly. Even Parie is still sane, or at least at pre hotel levels of sanity
And Serena and Nadal with the "charm", but I truly believe the words they say. players are going to start getting out in a couple of days.
one can not understate my excitement at watching tennis with a crowd again. God I missed that far too much.

Yeah the players have been great and I'm sure that behind the scenes TA have worked their absolute backsides off to make it as comfortable as possible for the players. Obviously it's still a while away and anything can happen at any moment, but feeling good about the next 3 weeks.

Will be interesting to see how the breakup into different zones affects things, and how they go about training on site during the tournament.
Previously players have practiced on the open eastern side courts and fans have been able to flock courtside to watch. I’m assuming that won’t be allowed this time around.

My goodness won't she just go away!
I think Melbourne Arena tickets get access to the practice courts

It is because of Djokovic and his time on the ATP Player Council that first round losers receive 100K at Grand Slams - He drives a hard bargain but gets results - It's embarrassing how out of touch you are with the reality of the situation - You read one or two lines from a journalist in an article and think it's gospel. It's no coincidence that the players asked Djokovic to liase with TA about better conditions for players in hard quarantine - After all, the players have more information about Djokovic's off-field talents than a random journo who writes about tennis once a year - Finally, we have the same group of journalists who think Kyrgios' inane tweets are the 'second coming of christ.' That's your perspective.

Is there anything with Yamstreka following her lawful rights under the WADA Code - CAS will make a final determination, though i don't like her chances.

Apparently, Millman asked if he could quarantine with the overseas based players so he could access Melbourne Park before the OZ Open - I see no reason why his request was declined - Anyway his information is the courts will play faster in 2021.

I get that but not sure why this couldn’t have been done a bit earlier it’s a circus.
Won’t miss her if she’s out for a while. Mrs Fake MTO can go away for a bit

They just announced it to the Adelaide crowd. the faces.....
I mean, it sucks for them. I do hope Novak can at least do something for the crowd during the break(etc sign autographs, interview photos)
multi-layered blisters are the injury for Novak.

Novak has rocked up to play the 2nd set. he is loving the crowd and the crowd loves him.
So, does this count as Krajinovic or Novak playing now...........Exos....dont ya love them.

I believe it counts as Novak changing his identity
I remember a decade ago I would get the Mon-Thu RLA pass and it wouldn't cost much more than $200, these days that might get you one session, at a stretch two? Crazy increase over the years.

I guess they'll keep increasing it until people stop buying it. -.-
Lol how unprofessional from 9. Serena, “I forgot the question because I’m too excited to be playing in front of fans”. Fitzy, “They’re telling me I got to run”. Back at the studio Todd Woodbridge, “We’ll take a quick break”. Is this the best we can do? The absolute best?
