Djokovic withdraws from ATP Cup in Sydney

Apparently he thinks he is more important than the general population. No loss as it provides opportunity for others who have personality to notch a grand slam victory.

△ No need to get on your high horse about it.

Do as you wish and give others the right to do the same.

But he was reported to have tested positive for the virus early in the pandemic, so he shouldn't even need to get vaxxed.

Good for him for following common sense over "winning".

Good. Australia doesn't deserve to host any world-class events. I hope all athletes boycott any events held in Australia going forward.

Unless they already hadn’t noticed by the time of the Aussie cup most “aussies” will have had omicron! Time to move on!

If he has already had COVID what the hell is the need for him to be vaccinated as the virus will give him much better protection than the Vaccines that need a 3 monthly top up…

stupid rule now omicron is here!

Australia has more important things to focus on than Omicron - the police will be out in force making sure spectators at the Australian open don't drink their beers too quickly -

What a joke lol.

No Djokovic at the Australian open. No loss at all. Most of us here do not care one iota if he comes or not. We do care if he is not vaccinated. Too hard to tell your vaccination status, then we do not really want you here.

Over 90% of Aussies doing the right thing and getting vaccinated and booster shots and you just cant be bothered having any civic responsibilities at all. We do not need "sporting role models" with that attitude. Please stay away until vaccinated, or the pandemic is over.

No Djokovic at the Australian open. No loss at all. Most of us here do not care one iota if he comes or not. We do care if he is not vaccinated. 

More backwards thinking, Peter. Not having Djokovic delegitimizes the event. And being vaccinated doesn't stop one from spreading the virus.

I dont agree. I stand by my opinion.

Not having Djokovic delegitimizes the event.

lol, I dont care, we have had many before him and will have many after him so his choice not to attend is nothing of concern.

And being vaccinated doesn't stop one from spreading the virus.

Yeah I have heard anti vaxxer opinions and I find them irrelevant also.

Vaccinations reduce the number getting infected and reduce the numbers that get infected from a fully vaccinated person who is infected. They also reduce the number of mutations of the virus.
