  1. Good, no exceptions for the rich. His procedure wasn’t correct and that gets you normally kicked out regardless.

    On another note, is this guy now banned from entering australia for the next few years? As is common when your entry is denied.

  2. I wonder will that include a 3 year ban from re entering the country as well? As is most cases when your found with false documentation on a visa to Australia

  3. announced it right as the courts closed for the weekend so he has no time to appeal before the start of the tournament. hilarious

  4. Good decision, another elitist, selfish and irresponsible anti vaxxer gets served justice. Now its ATP turn.

    A Djoke of an athlete…totally unprofessional.

  5. This was handled poorly by Australian authorities, but this is the right decision. He either lied about having covid, or illegally entered Spain and exposed numerous people. Not even mentioning his antivax stance and how much his influence would have negatively affected people around the world. Good riddance.

  6. Good. My friend is working as a doctor in Australia and hasn’t seen any family or friends from home since the pandemic started. The lockdown and quarantine rules made it almost impossible even after the vaccines rolled out. Why should he get to play tennis when other people have sacrificed so much?

  7. He managed to make a complete fool of himself and shredded his reputation remarkably fast. He is a antivaxxer, liar and behaved like a spoiled, reckless brat.

    Well done, Nole. Now f*ck off home.

  8. I mean, as opposed to what exactly? “Yeah sure, break all the rules we are fine with that”. Can you imagine the outcry

  9. Unsurprised. With everything that’s come out about it (and the Aus government played it very well waiting while the evidence inevitably came out), it’s a high profile case of someone unvaccinated with false data on their visa form. There’s no way the Aus government could let it stand. I doubt they’ll apply the three year ban, but they’ll hang it over him to make sure he and Serbia don’t kick up more fuss.

  10. “hey i got covid”

    gets caught in public having covid

    “hey i lied i dont have covid”

    gets smacked in the face

    “I-I-IT WAS MY TEAM’S FAULT I DIDNT KNEW IT”

    this guy

  11. Good decision. Dont know why it took so long, it was a clear case, every other people would have been home by now.

  12. Well, he deserved it. Good on Australia for sticking with their overly strict rules.

    The way he and his delusional family handled this issue was embarrassing as well.

  13. Every time I read a story about Novaxx, I unconsciously default to a three-word reaction.

    *This fucking guy*

  14. Good! There shouldn’t be exceptions just because you are rich and famous. Although I suspect they did it now because the govt position was untenable

  15. He used to be one of my favorite players when he was coming up and winning. He’s turned into a fucking prick. Fuck that guy. Ban him for 3 years.

  16. This Novac YoCovid saga has been stupid as hell. People taht win millions for playing a sport are unable to comply with basic rules and the try to play the victim card.

    Worrst part, there is a lot to criticize about how Australia manages their borders. A lot. But this isn’t an example.

  17. He doesnt seem to have much respect for the country and people who invited and accepted him in his previous nine wins at the Australian open

  18. Well yes I like when he wins at tennis court and when break records, but he really fucked big time now. He should be smarter then this definitelly.
