What a shitshow from the Australian government. Imagine having to live there at the moment, now onder they are losing their collective shit. When to comes to leadership, Scott Morrison makes our Leo look like Winston Churchill.
The five players already in Australia with an exemption must be fearing a knock on the door from the feds, but I'm sure they will fine.
Regardless of what decision they (they now being the Border Force rather than the independent medical experts) make with Djokovic, this tournament has the potential to unravel fairly quickly.
Already 12 positive cases amongst vaccinated players in Melbourne, two weeks before a ball is hit in anger. This is only a couple of weeks after a similar Expo event in Abu Dhabi, where 8 of the 10 players tested positive. If people want to know what a real super-spreader tennis event looks like, check that out and the case numbers in UAE.
Tennis Australia knows that their draw would turn into a farce if they carried out daily testing. So it's only two tests in your first six days after arrival, and then nothing, which makes no sense if public health is your primary concern.
