Yeah. Nah. Americans seem to have this warped idea that the Australian Open is really really important to Australia but it isn't. Yeah, it a big sporting event, and it has some tourist value, but it's of miniscule importance compared to thinks like our border security.

Most Americans have never heard of the Australian Open before you made a big deal out of detaining a tennis player so it's a bit of a stretch to say that we have an idea that it's "really really important to Australia". We'd have to have heard of it to think that.

You detained a touring tennis player who has recovered from Covid and thus has better immunity than anyone with the shots, a guy that you'd previously given a visa to enter. Great Job!! That's quite a strong blow for border security, I'm sure the Chinese took one look at that and have decided to scratch you off their invasion list. That's about as much of a win for border security as our strip searching 90 year old Jewish grandmothers in wheel chairs after 9/11.

To put it bluntly, this makes your country look like a bunch cowering ninnies.

I have seen dozens of Americans on this site telling Australians that this tennis tournament is incredibly important - more important than securing Australia's borders. That is people on this site telling me that over and over again. If this isn't true, don't blame me for the American idiots who are saying it over and over and over again.

You detained a touring tennis player who has recovered from Covid and thus has better immunity than anyone with the shots, a guy that you'd previously given a visa to enter.

No, actually that is not what has happened. Djokovic never had a valid visa to enter Australia and the lie that he did that people here keep repeating because they've been fed that lie is part of the reason why this is a border security issue for Australia. Misinformation and lies about Australia's border policies make it so.
