God bless him.

I think maybe he’s become a Christian maybe when Andre Agassi, a Christian, was helping him during a very low point in his life.

Thank you Jesus for you amazing grace.

I don’t think so. Last I heard he was in a quarantine concentration camp.

I respect Djokovic for what he’s going through now, as well as his accomplishments of the past.

Ali, I’m not so sure about. For starters, I only remember the press in their adulation of the man. Joe Frazier couldn’t understand the cruelty of the racial taunts he received from Ali.

Cassius Clay was a filthy,semi literate moslem coward who won his early fights by having had them fixed by the Mafia.

Czech tennis player Renata Voracova was placed in the same immigration detention hotel as Novak Djokovic after having her visa canceled by Australian Border Force officials..

The Czech Foreign Ministry said Voracova and Djokovic are “in the same detention” in Melbourne “together with several other players.” The statement did not include the other names.

I wish Australia had a consulate here in Atlanta. This is a big tennis town, I bet we could organize a protest in front of it, if it existed.

I actually have a friend who’s been involved with Novak in some business events, and has hit with him socially.

No love for Kyrie? He can't even play in NYC, at his home court.

Novak and his team filed the same documents as 25 other tennis players (who received exemptions) and they didn’t have any problems, just Novak.They wanted to humiliate him. They could have said ‘don’t come Novak’ and that would have been okay.

But no, they wanted to humiliate him and they’re still keeping him in prison. He’s not in detention, he’s in prison. They took all of his stuff, even his wallet.. ~ his father.

The news reports out of Australia have been quite sad. Few places in the Anglosphere worse from Government totalitarianism approach, NZ perhaps.

They are like the old Soviet Union. I used to want to visit both countries, but I no longer do. Too oppressive and totalitarian for me.

He’s in immigration detention in a hotel in the middle of Melbourne. Why do people feel the need to exaggerate stuff like this?

It would be pretty embarrassing to win the Australian Open and parade around like you’ve accomplished something while knowing full well that would never have happened if the real champion hadn’t been prevented from playing by a government intent upon showing the peons who’s boss.

I'm wondering if they are going to let him out.

Anyone who travels to the Australian Democratic Republic (ADR) is a damn fool.

You are nuts, he is in hotel in Melbourne, The Park Hotel in Melbourne's Carlton district, granted not the typical place for Novak to stay at since it is only a four star hotel and not that nice.

Hotel details
Adjacent to the University of Melbourne, this contemporary hotel is 1 block from a tram stop and a 13-minute walk from the Melbourne Museum.

Modern rooms feature free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, plus desks, minibars, and tea and coffeemaking facilities. The 1-bedroom suites add whirlpool baths, and living rooms with sofas. Room service is available.

There's a sophisticated restaurant, and a bar with a terrace. There's also a gym. Parking is available (surcharge).

“hellhole hotel with ‘maggot-ridden food’”

So it’s an urban concentration camp?

The Australian government gave Novak Djokovic a WRITTEN vaccine exemption because he had Covid in December, his lawyers claim - as his request for a personal chef is REJECTED at hellhole hotel with ‘maggot-ridden food’
