Nick Kyrgios was serving for the match, and a battle with Djokovic. The Serb had to save three set points in the final game of his epic five-setter against Kyrgios at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios, an Australian tennis player, is known for his on-court meltdowns. His administration seems to be following in his footsteps. Australia’s border security kept world number one tennis player Novak Djokovic for eight hours on Wednesday before ordering him to leave the country. Unless he wins his appeal, he will be unable to participate in the Australian Open.
Mr. Djokovic failed to give enough proof to fulfill Australia’s admission standards, according to Health Minister Greg Hunt. “It’s up to him whether or not he wants to appeal, but if a visa is revoked, someone will have to leave the country.” You can’t be serious, with apologies to John McEnroe.
Even nationals must provide evidence of vaccination in order to enter Australia. Mr. Djokovic said on Tuesday that he had been granted a medical exemption to compete in the event. Given his previous remarks against vaccination requirements, several Australians questioned the exemption’s authenticity. In November, he stated, “It doesn’t really matter if it’s vaccine or anything else in life.” “You should be able to make your own decisions and pick what you want to do.” What you want to put in your body in this specific circumstance.”
Officials in Victoria, where the competition is held, denied he was given preferential treatment. Exemption petitions were anonymously examined by two independent committees of medical professionals. The state’s Health Department nominated one panel.
None of this comforted Australians who had to suffer lockdowns, quarantines, and travel restrictions rivaling only China’s in severity. One municipality even shot rescue dogs to deter workers from picking them up from the shelter.
“Don’t tell me Djokovic is naive to what Australians have gone through,” Sam Groth, a former tennis player from Australia, wrote for the Courier Mail of Brisbane. “On Tuesday, he made a tone-deaf statement. “He ought to know better.”
Mr. Djokovic will have to justify why he merits a vaccination exemption when he arrives, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said early Wednesday: “If that proof is lacking, he won’t be treated any differently than anybody else, and he’ll be on the next aircraft home.” Novak Djokovic should not be subjected to any special regulations. “None in the least.”
It’s doubly useless to require Mr. Djokovic to get vaccinated. In June 2020, he tested positive for the coronavirus, and studies have shown that natural immunity is at least as effective as immunizations. Infections with the Omicron variety, however, are prevalent among both previously infected and vaccinated people. Despite the fact that 95% of Australians over the age of 12 are completely vaccinated, instances are on the rise.
Australians will have to “live with the virus,” according to Mr. Morrison. Why can’t they accept, or at the very least tolerate, Mr. Djokovic? Perhaps it’s because he serves as a reminder that the pain they’ve gone through for over two years has been in vain.
