As a Fed fan, this couldn't have been scripted any better, even though it has a huge waste of time and resources, not to mention taken focus off the slam itself, it could not have happened to a worthier grub.

And I thought him being defaulted from USO was bad

Yeah, it was a ****ing circus.

Kokk would be my guess considering the result last night

Kokk's due to play at 5pm whilst Millman's lines up better time wise with the RLA session.

But perhaps Kokk won't mind the extra 3 hours prep.

Switching things up from the tennis for a moment

And back to tennis

Match Schedule | AO

fyi

And Novak has accepted the decision

 

[winty]

Is he banned from the country for 3 years as well?

 

[Munich]

Is he banned from the country for 3 years as well?

Hopefully

[Phipppppa]

I heard somewhere he can appeal his 3 year ban? **** why give him the option?

While I'd like to see less betting advertising during sports telecasts and such, I do love the Sportsbet Twitter account

They have some cleaver folks running that

 

[winty]

This is pretty clever...

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Hopefully

Eh, I think that's probably going overboard. I assume that he's going to cop the 3 but 9 months from now when we're past the omicron final boss fight he'll appeal it and win

Updated Day 1 schedule - Kecmanovic goes from night session on Rod Laver to now playing late afternoon on 1573 Arena

What other choice does he have then copping the 3?

Regardless of legal framework I would say the minister has the ability to rescind it, and odds on it'll be a different government next year. A quiet apology letter might just get it done

Why should he be any different to anyone else who lied to enter our borders?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Why should he be any different to anyone else who lied to enter our borders?

Because, unfortunately, he is different and the reasons for kicking him out will likely be a non-issue by then

Some 15k ahead in the food budget, but down an equal amount on airport parking.

 

[Phipppppa]

Why should he be any different to anyone else who lied to enter our borders?

Because he’s “not like other people, he’s novak Djokovic”

****ing hate him so much, he’s so up himself.

 

[Munich]

Can't remember who the short guy is but he has the crazy eyes as much as legohead.

The reasons were used as it was the best way to ensure deportation rather than having to prove he lied to obtain a visa.

Which everybody knows is what happened.
