“Shameless villain”: Press foams with Djokovic anger

The Age : “Novak Djokovic would be well advised to refrain from his usual 'heartbreaking' celebration at the Rod Laver Arena. Judging by the ridicule his medical exemption to fight for a 10th Australian Open title in Melbourne has drawn, he is poised to become the country's least popular visitor since Katie Hopkins was expelled last year. because she had bragged about breaking hotel quarantine. A city that has endured six lockdowns and where double vaccination is a condition of entry to any public communal space is unlikely to appreciate tennis's leading vaccine skeptic being ushered through the VIP lane at Tullamarine Airport." The West Australian : “The Djoker has transformed himself into the Joker and shamelessly assigned himself the role of villain before launching his attempt to rule the tennis world.” “His participation is an insult to every Australian who has been through hell because of Covid.” The Herald Sun The Canberra Times : “Raise your hand if you were genuinely surprised when Novak Djokovic received a medical exemption for the Australian Open. Horrified, perhaps. Angry, yes. Frustrated, disappointed, disgusted, feeling like we'd all just gotten a massive slap in the face. It is sad for the residents of this country who have been repeatedly denied international and interstate travel during this pandemic, even to see their dying loved ones. For those who have been separated from their children or unable to attend the funeral of a close friend or family member. Unfortunately, the rules are different when you are a global sports superstar, even if you have shown no respect for a virus that has infected nearly 300 million people around the world in the last two years.” The Herald Sun : “The medical exemption for Novak Djokovic to play the Australian Open is a sick hypocrisy. His participation is an insult to every Australian who has been through hell because of Covid.”
