Goodbye Novax!

[diddlydo]

Novax has been given his marching orders! Australia is getting rid of one rogue. How long before we get rid of our own?

Bring it on!

[1ozzy]

According to your link the dust hasn't settled yet.

[Hopkirk]

Well done. Pity he was ever able to make the journey.

[1ozzy]

But hopefully it will and Novax Jokerbitch will be scurrying away.
If only he had been honest.

[murraymints]

The only course of action.. if Novak had a shred of dignity he would have apologised and left..imagine the chaos if he had taken to court ?? he'd have been boooooed off and a few projectiles launched most likely..how he ever thought he could walk on water ??

[1ozzy]

If he or his well paid minders were actually honest he may well have been playing tennis and cementing his claim of being the world's best.
Not sorry!!

[lady-janine]

He hasn't gone yet. I can see more trouble with lawyers.

It is so easy to get vaccinated and if he is as fit as he claims (and on that I do believe him) he should have no trouble at all.

was to be announced formally 15 mins later that was at 7.12 am !

[Cloverjo]

Woohoo! On your way, Novax. Very silly man. An opportunity to be the GOAT but thought he was Jesus.
I am very pleased. I bet Federer and Nadal are too.

[diddlydo]

1ozzy - just refresh the BBC live feed - definitely all over for Novax!

[murraymints]

Will he now be served a 3 year ban ?

[1ozzy]

Awesome Diddy, if only he didn't think his ranking would overcome everything.
Goes to show ego doesn't always work.

[Cloverjo]

This is still slightly worrying: “ There's very little scope for Djokovic to challenge the judges' decision” BBC

I bet he’ll still wrangle a way to get another hearing

[emmie]

if he was banned for three years, could that see his career over...

[1ozzy]

If them be the rules Minty.
It's stuffed his chances

[murraymints]

Ego is a terrrrrrrrible thing !!

[Cloverjo]

Oh relief

“Djokovic accepts decision” BBC

His name is still on the AO draw sheet though. I hope the tennis officials will delete him and rejig soon so the other players know what they’re doing.

[murraymints]

order of play to be posted 4pm

[ladybirder]

He's banned only from playing in Oz isn't he? So can play other places?

[emmie]

seems that way, but this is a tournament he wants to win...
