You have google, feel free to search it. A handful were given a ME.
He never got rejected for a ME, fail.And there are others who were rejected. Hilarious people think Djokovic is the only one that could be rejected
My bad your absolutely right!
Castaway….
If you're referring to Sandgren, he didn't apply for one.

Believe the number also includes support staff, so not sure on the split between player and those part of a players team.
Why should he be raging?
He/his team got their application wrong (hence the rejection).
Correct - I'm getting nothing but Djokovic and some sites claiming 'some'.
But the guy you quoted is saying an anti-vaxxer shouldn't get there, regardless of exemption and he's correct imo. It undermines Australia's strictness, giving exemption to players with genuine conditions who would possibly otherwise take the jab is a different case. He, Kyrie and Rodgers are anti-vax out of choice almost certainly and not necessity, otherwise we'd know by now.
Djokovic made his stance public, he buried himself. He probably had no option given his height in the sporting world.
If he does then a COVID report that proves it should be easy to produce and he should be allowed into the country.
i think what these clips show is that you really get the feeling the other players really detest him.
And not because they are jealous of his success as some would probably claim but simply because they think hes a prick.
Still feels to me like politicking. This way they’ll feel like they’ve saved face somewhat.Tweet

Novak officially out of Australian Open.
Withdrew from qualifying draw today. Best of luck, Dennis Novak!

I was talking about Tennys Sandgren.
However as pointed out by @saivet he never applied for one as he didn't fit the criteria.
Although point still stands to an extent that he could/should be annoyed he can't play but another unvaccinated player can.

Can't believe how much you're failing here.He just did

As a huge fan of Novak this is hard haha. Too much suspense. Should have just got jabbed and saved himself and rest of the fans a lot of nerves. This is as suspensful as that Djokovic - Federer final in 2019.
Even though I don't agree with the way Djokovic has approached it, unless he's fabricated something (which I doubt), surely they shouldn't him send him home.
Given the independent panel reviews, they could have rejected his exemption before he flew to Australia.
Just seems like backtracking from the Australian officials if they now reject his entry.
Djokovic started it but it's become a soap opera.

Technically he's already entered Australia.
Shambles this was not all sorted before he boarded the plane to Australia but then again I've never applied for a visa but assumed it would be rubber stamped before even travelling to a particular country.
Football payers have not travelled to matches due to visa issues.
My missus spent half a night being detained in a tiny room (while 6 months pregnant) on a business trip to New York because of a visa issue. I think they’re typically only picked up on arrival at your destination.Technically he's already entered Australia.

So? The point here is that his medical exemption is almost certainly dubious.You do realise there are already others unvaccinated who've already arrived for the AO to play?
Hilarious people think its only Djokovic with a ME.
It should be irrelevant anyway. If you are an anti-vaxxer, you should be shunned.

Wonder how the person who submitted his visa application is feeling right now.
”… his father Srdjan Djokovic has issued an urgent statement to the Australian government, asking them to free his son.
'I have no idea what's going on, they're holding my son captive for five hours,' he said. 'This is not a fight for the libertarian world, this is not just a fight for Novak, but a fight for the whole world!' he said.
'If they don't let him go in half an hour, we will gather on the street, this is a fight for everybody’ “

I'm not sure immigration officials will be very happy with Novak's dad issuing threats.
His Dad is a clown tbh.
Tennis fathers often are.
That’s my take as well, basically. At this stage of the pandemic I simply cannot understand the outrage. I just think once the vaccines (double jabbed) lost their ability to prevent infection to the degree we have now with omicron, where it’s essentially only good enough to lessen your symptoms and barely reduces transmission, it doesn’t make any sense to get worked up by super fit and rich athlete not wanting to get vaccinated who won’t be an issue to your public healthcare system (which we rightly are focusing on).
Just seen king Richard too?
Was that as big a whitewashing of him as it looked?Just seen king Richard too?
It made him look a bit of a maniac but with good intentions.
‘A bit?’
This has to be the toughest first round match Novak had to face at Australian Open in his career (apart from that beat down by Safin back in 2006).
There’s a match thread on Reddit of Novax v border patrol
Visa cancelled, heading back home.
You are still much more likely to pass it on if you are unvaccinated but I do somewhat agree that him being unvaxxed is not much of a danger to other people. The main issue here is he should have never been allowed a medical exemption without a solid reason, which I can’t really think of what that reason could be other than him simply being openly anti-vax, when you cannot normally enter Australia without vaccine. Being a famous athlete should not be a factor.
Novak reportedly failed to provide enough proof that he had a legitimate medical condition and has therefore been asked to go back. Looks like his lawyers will appeal the decision.
-I’ll get the best lawyers in the world here on the next flight
-Are they vaxxed?
-……..I’ll get the third best lawyers in the world here on the next flight”

I wonder if Australia sent back the money Novak sent them during the fire that happened 2 years ago.
Stupid of him now to fight this. This is a political and public issue now in Oz. He won't be able to force his way through.
