No Australian Open for Novak Djokovic if he isn't double vaccinated.

[speak easy]

(Australian) Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has some pointed remarks for tennis superstar and nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, who has been rather reluctant to say whether he’s had a coronavirus jab.

But if he wants a shot at the tenth title, he’ll need to be double vaccinated.

Speaking on the ABC’s RN Breakfast earlier this morning, Mr Hawke ruled out a special exemption for tennis players.

“The government in establishing its borders has said that you’ll need to be double vaccinated to visit Australia. That’s a universal application, not just to tennis players. I mean that every visitor to Australia will need to be double vaccinated,” Mr Hawke said.

3. Vile Tennis Player

Djokovic needs sit down and STFU. If he never plays again the tennis industry is better off.

This violent, self-important monster should be banned from the game. He is a disgrace.
