No! Novak Djokovic kicked an ‘own goal’ out of the park, all on his lonesome. He has knowingly misled, obfuscated & peddled incorrect information whilst posting on social media the means of his own sporting demise; no doubt a temporary situation but residual damage will remain.

Novak is a great tennis player & one of the all time greats. No doubt. But he’s lied on entry forms, been out in public when he knew he had covid & is now facing legal cases. He’s entitled to not be jabbed but Oz is entitled to throw him out ! Agree ? #shambles

All is not done as yet. There will be an appeal by the legal team of Novak Djokovic. However, for the moment, World No. 1 has his plate full of legal complications.
Over the years, Djokovic has registered his best performances in Melbourne. He won his first Major in 2008 at the Australian Open. As of today, he is a proud winner of nine titles, making him the most successful player to compete in the first Grand Slam event of the season.
