2026 Wimbledon Men's Final: Sinner v Zverev

[MargaretMcAleer]

well the reason they didn't want him at the AO is because that year Novak was about to break a certain record belonging to a revered gentleman called Rod Laver. Truth is truth. Bright as the day.

The Truth was we were In Lock Down due to COVID and Novak wasnt vaccinated and those were the Rules, thank goodness he was deported. BTW as I live in Australia and Melbourne at that point in time was the Lock Down City of the World
People were outraged because they had to be vaccinated and he tried to arrive unvaccinated, it was his choice not to be vaccinated, fair enough, he should have stayed home and missed the AO in 2022 and abided by rules that were in placed at that time, that is the Complete Truth BTW

I never had any objections to anyone who didn't want to get vaccinated. But when they tried to ignore the rules that everyone else had to abide by, then that crosses a line in my view. Yes it might have turned out that COVID was a mess for many reasons, but we could easily explore the counter-factual. What if COVID ended up being even worse. All these people who were defending their personal freedoms and autonomy could have infected millions. Would they then be heroic freedom fighters then? It's a complicated issue.

Wow! Hatah's gonna "hate!" That's over the top!

its not hate.. Novak put a lot of people in possible harms way if we are just talking about getting vaccinated when there were too many unknowns. I did not say hate. He is not a good person. Its okay to want to win and to be the best but the choices you make will determine your consequences. Again, I dont want to put his morals on trial again..

As I posted Federberg I worked in the IUC when COVID was during the worst period, I saw too well what COVID did and it wasnt a bad flu as many people thought it was, it was terrible and yes if the rules that were implemented like they were, yes harsh, it could have turned out worse.
Here in Sydney we are still seeing COVID cases in our hospitals, not as bad as they were where COVID was at its Peak, it takes sometime for a virus like COVID to peter out.

I am sorry if my words hurt you but it's what it is

Just send the player away or boo him because we can't produce a player in our country that can stop him.

All the people sitting inside centre courts stadiums are bad people. Because they can't accept their defeat. If you can't stand the fact that an outsider is beating your men black and blue why do you even want to play tennis with them? If the hatred is so high why have only one association with players from different backgrounds?

The reason why Novak was deported was because he wasnt vaccinated end of story, in 2022 Australia, Melbourne most importantly were in strict lock down and people had to be vaccinated to work, or else they could not, a lot of industries closed down because of COVID
I worked in the ICU when COVID was at the Peak and I had to be vaccinated to work as a medical professional.

I maintain Rod Laver was the first open era legend and one of a kind tennis player. Respect where its due. But, to stop someone from competing just because you don't want his records to get broken that's petty as hell.

If Novak Djokovic got a COVID vaccination before the AO in 2022 he would be able to play, he refused so he could not play as they were the rules at the AO in 2022, plain and simple

I'm sorry bro but this is absurd. Do you really think the Australian government, not the Australian Open....... the government was using COVID policy to protect a Rod Laver record in a pandemic? Come on now

I thought it a bit "insane" when Djokovic organzied that mini-exh. tour event in 2020 of players (Adria) who weren't vaccinated! They're playing and hugging on court throughout so of course they all acquire Covid! I couldn't understand it at the time! It hasn't been brought up since! I guess I can be an honest broker of facts unlike some, not necessarily you @Federberg who slant their views according to where & how the wind blows! When will people let it go? He's the GOAT and many just can't stand it!

Excuse Me
How would you like it if you could not visit your Partner, Wife or Husband that had a blood clot in his lung in Melbourne and because of the COVID rules at the time I could not visit him he could have Died and I am a Medical Professional and your Fan Boy arrives in Melbourne Not Vaccinated and tried to stay? all he wanted was to win another GS at the AO, regardless that the whole of Melbourne was "Locked Down" in strict COVID Rules! also the other states of Australia had same COVID rules? Novak was 'above of the rules' of not being vaccinated, he should have stayed home? all he had in his sights was to add another GS title, stuff the rules that were in place? gives anyone a proper insight into this Selfish Person, it was all about Him full stop, cheats Never Prosper and in this case he was deported and rightfully so.
Yes I remember all too well that mini-exh tour event Novak had and he was seen in a night club shirtless dancing? again another sign from him, stuff I will do what I want to do full stop!
If thats your kind of a Goat, which I dont believe in for starters You Can Have Him Period, regardless of the GS titles and records he has broken.
At least he didnt try the same trick he did at the AO in 2022, lie and cheat his way in, he was also banned at the USO in the same year 2022 because he wasnt vaccinated.
