Novak disappointed me greatly. The Australian authorities should have been clearer from the start: no jabs = can’t disembark from the plane. The title however, seems to tarnish the Serbian people with the same brush …
WARNING, snowflake rant incoming:
Since when this attitude towards Eastern Europeans became so accepted? Vaccine hesitancy after this two dumpster fire years is beyond me, but seriously? The decisions (no matter how bad they may be) of one person blamed on their nationality? Can the ‘civilized West’ even exist without the urge of being borderline racist to some other group?

He’s an anti-vaxer. Enough said. He can play tennis as much as he likes against a wall, as far as I’m concerned.
imagine the shitstorm if they’d written “for a jew it is not” or “for a black man it is not”
yet this is not at all offensive towards an entire ethnicity?
I don’t care about Djokovic or sports in general but you can’t target an entire group of people for their ethnicity for shit like this… or you can if they’re eastern european and not from the civilized, morally and culturally superior west.
also Idgaf for the unvaccinated, I took 3 shots of Pfizer, we should just let natural selection do it’s thing at this point with the antivax and that’s it
This post should be removed and you should be ashamed for posting this.

It’s a poor headline but the data stands and data doesn’t give a sh*t about your feelings.
Lots of people bent out of shape and criticizing “the west” for being racists. This is laughable.
I see the president of Serbia has chimed in in Novak’s defence. Then again this is the same guy that was a defender of Karadzic.
Nice racism
Antivaxxer who happens to be proficient at hitting balls. Demands special treatment. Fcuk him.
I believe in following the rules, that is just me.
I remember early in 2020 Serbia was actually out-vaccinating most of Europe yet now they are one of the least vaxxed countries there
Looks like international sports participation is going to become unusual for Serbs then
So they first grant him a visa thrn rescinded it when he disembarked from the plane? And westerners dont think that decision was politicaly motivated?
I mean WTF, Australia is a model how you shoudnt fights vs covid. Their politicians are on full fascist mode.
It’s a sign of a strong man to stand strongly in a situation like this. Admireable.
