No doubt there will be an appeal, there are lawyers in Australia saying he could likely get an injunction to stay for another week until a hearing can take place but that the minister also made sure to get the best advice possible to ensure that case will be unsuccessful. Sounds likely it will be a case of injunction -> he plays in round 1, maybe 2, -> goes before judge and likely loses -> goodbye -> see you at the 2026 Australian Open in 3 years.
He’s visa is canceled…..he is not in a hotel of his choice anymore.
No visa you can’t hang out until court case..

I think he should cut his losses now. There is the option to waiver the three year ban for the good of the country (ie if a competition brings in money and is no risk to the public).
I really hope he does not appeal or try to become a cause celeb. This whole thing has become a circus and what the hell are the sport governing bodies doing etc etc. it is almost like someone just wants to test public opinion.
If it is a three year ban I wonder what the rules will look like then. If the rules do stay tough / get tougher it is helping me in my retirement as I have a few side bets. Vaccines are no longer dull and are seen as a strong growth opportunity. Johnson and Johnson are another tip... but I would still prefer to see an end to the rules (in a safe way) rather than a big bank balance ;0)
- Pfizer expects to make nearly as much money from vaccines in 2021 as it earned in total in 2020.
- The drugmaker expects vaccine sales to rake in $38 billion in 2021 taking turnover to $81 billion
- The company earned a total of $41.9 billion in revenue in all of 2020.

And here it is: the Capitalist way..... If your country has only one core value : making money. No matter how. As much as possible. No matter how to get it . Cheating pensioners out of their pension with Ponzi schemes ? Their own problem, probably too stupid.... That way of thinking leads us to where we are here. Entitlement ; Rules only for the others. Caring for others, even if they are of a different opinion? No way. That's why I think, Australia still has the other side present. Free health care. Schools. No matter who you are. We have the same amount of As* holes like other countries. But many Australians of all ages still care for their neighbours. No matter what they are or believe. So, bye, bye Mr. Djokovich. Deep down he might see it as a life lesson. Or not. Does not really matter to us.
In fact it may not necessarily need money. A Djokovic fan with the right access for example.
I spent one evening into the early hours of the next day right next to the computer holding the British Parliaments' records. The computer manufacturer's disk traffic tuning expert and I as the support guy for the database engine were parachuted in [*] for an emergency hunt for much lost performance, and no-one in serious authority knew we were there because we arrived after they'd gone home... I did wonder about inserting some "unparliamentary" words in the speeches of politicians I particularly disliked. Reckon it could have caused trouble for months
[*] VFR-750'd in actually and spent the time there dressed in my leathers 😜 The Stationary Office guy who admin'd the database wasn't fazed because he was a 'biker himself 👍
Yes... always liked the Honda V4 lump!
Part of me wants him to play (at least one game) just to see him get torn to shreds by the crowd. He gets a right paddy on when things aren't going his way. Would be really entertaining.
