It wasn’t a mistake, it was done on purpose. People don’t realize how documents get manipulated here in Serbia.

It's not disgraceful to flout authoritarian COVID policies that violate human rights.

[robertpisica]

Djokovic sees through the agenda and has power and influence. They don't want to allow him to get away with not being vaccinated so that others wouldn't get ideas/follow in his footsteps, etc.

[zanzimirzanzimirovic]

I don't understand why do you care what somedy doing in his country. Nobody cares about Rafa playing Abu Dhabi positive on corona. Why don't you talk about that? If it was Novak, OMGod, media woud have ripped him off. Shame on you dear reporter.

The question is not to Djokovic but to the government. Would the authorities excuse these mistakes from other ordinary applicants entering that country ?

[pavlemegane]

Hitler and Naci Germany also had rules and laws so what ? Brave men didnt obay to them !

[danijelajoksimovic]

Desperate attacks of Australian Government and media on Novak!!! 😂😂😂 WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL TO NOVAK FOR EXPOSING LENGTHS TO WHICH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD GO TO APPLY IT'S TYRANNY!!!! Full disclosure on an international scene!!!! Severe violation of human rights!!! THANK YOU NOVAK!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes Djokovic failed to come out clean and there is no excuse, but what about the draconian and tyrannical measure that Australians impose on people?

How do you put people's lives in danger if you aren't sick?

I ❤just LOVE your Analysis. When I was In Grade 3 I LIED to our Head teacher that our Village house had Burned Down and that is why I did not do my Homework. Not knowing that he felt so Sorry for me that he asked the other Teachers to accompany him to go console my Parents. I came home with my younger brother that next Saturday after going to Graze the Cows only to Find My Parents and the Teachers at our Home talking with my Parents Entertaining them. I WON'T tell you what happened to me after that but "I became the person I am TODAY because of ALWAYS telling the Truth. Living in Canada now from kenya. "PLEASE DON'TLIE". 🇨🇦☻🇰🇪

No wonder why the Prime Minster of Australia was upset, Djocovic has violated the rules
And lying also caught up with him

[zzhughesd]

Smiling brother and dad just the worst

Djokovic has such an inflated ego and in return he’s such a morally corrupt person.

[ssassoon]

Very disappointed with your one sided narrative. I use to like you but realize now you’ve become mainstream!

[prash]

When I looked at the whole story I found Djokovic as a victim, as a matter of fact he's a hero. The only fault of him is that he is not jabbed, which is his personal choice but at the same time if you read the narratives regarding the status of vaccine, it is just tool which reduces the severity of infection, a jabbed person double or triple without any symptoms can infect hundreds of thousands. Point is, it was never about the vaccine but strict border policies and incompetence of Australian government. They are saving their image for what they have did in the past 2 years. Djokovic is merely a Scapegoat.

[rintrah]

There’s no disgrace. He’s a tennis player and a great player. Nobody knows how effective these vaccines really are in the long term. Can any news network say with choice that there are no side effects or there will be no side effects?

[colaup]

Djokovic is not a disgrace, it is Australia and the tennis world that is a disgrace. The tennis world was damaged long before Djokovic came. You can tell they constantly cheat on draws and have always showed favoritism toward certain players with match playing times. Djokovic only stands out because he is about to break that record and someone has a personal vendetta against him. At least he was not caught doping.

[chandinimirihagalla]

Imagine the plight of ordinary citizen who give false information on a arrival form.
Agent filling the form will not be an excuse.

[lailafiola]

They are just trying to make an example of him. The politicians do the same. They don't get fired. Australian MPs are exempt, they don't have to be vaccinated.

[martytube]

The protocols are stupid and not universal
