Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Match Day (closed)

It's mostly dumb ****s supporting some player from a country their parents are from.

The first two days were full of kids in Croatian soccer tops... I don't know many decent Croat tennis players?

They just want to carry on and talk about their amazing country. which was so amazing they left it...

This is such a gross post - how dare people be proud of where they are from.

Jones is a complete goose, but I think people are overreacting by inferring he's some sort of racist.

For what it's worth, I thought his apology in the morning was half hearted and weak.

It is the base of evidence, not just the event itself. His scumbag behaviour has been going on for too long

How tf was that racist

Wank apology from Tony Jones, no way I'd accept that if I was Novak.

Also good to see my friend Craig Tilley being called out by Novak as the great guy that he is. I recall many here wanted him fired and said he was fired after the border force ****ery, Craig is doing a great job.

you are joking right, what a disgrace that was Craig should of had some balls and told Novak no vaccine no tennis, instead they tried everything under the sun to get him in and all of a sudden Novak produces some fake test saying he had covid so now he doesn't need the vaccine which was all fake

 

[mighty_lions]

Stop the abuse champ, you're out of line. It was racist that's why the Serbian Council of Australia has made a complaint. Abuse me again and I'll report you.

just because you say its racist doesn't make it so, you love playing the race card on here

The tone of it could be interpreted it as that way, and the kick him out part is associated with it. That's the issue part. It's the part that wasn't needed and at least it's been publicly apologised now.

the kick him out is clearly about how he was deported, nothing to do with any racism wtf

Think about it more....

 

[Drummond]

Wow this forum has lost the plot.

Imagine being so triggered by Novak. 24 slams, 40 masters, OG, these past 20 years sure has had a looooot of lows for these people!

 

[mighty_lions]

yeah if u want to read into something that's not there and make everything out to be something its clearly not

the reality of it all is Novak still has issues about being deported and that last comment "kick him out" obviously pissed him and his fragile ego off

 

[YeoShuey]

What time do the mens matches begin? This is boring.

First match is Sinner vs. Rune scheduled from 2.00pm.

I might just watch my favourite player SoneGOAT as 2.30 then. It will probably be the better match of the two.

That's the match i'll be focusing on. Fully expecting Rune to do squat and be cooked after the 5 setter.

 

[mighty_lions]

There's plenty of others like Paul McNamee .

Paul mcnamee, another joke, he publicly went on radio and said Novak would be getting vaccinated and down played the whole narrative that Novak wasn't going to, He is a Novak sycofant. He tried to make it out that it was a media witch hunt

 

[FreoRicci]

Tony Jones getting worldwide condemnation is such a dream. Guy is a dick and no idea.
How do these guys get their jobs?

It isn't. People just like to use the racist card for everything these days.

He had nothing to apologise for...Aussie humour has always been built on "taking the piss". The sooner Novak retires the better!

Chompers biting off more than he can chew, a fair accomplishment for a man with his sized fangs.

 

[mighty_lions]

You're engaging in whataboutism to defend Tony Jones who is a dh.

you mentioned Paul mcnamee not me, also im not defending Tony, as part of being the host broadcaster he shouldn't of said it, that doesn't change the fact Novak is precious or the fact Paul mcnamee is a liar

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Come on Carlos

 

[BobbyMorri]

Okay think we just leave it there and not turn the thread into the next politics rubbish (that no one cares about), all politicians suck!

Tennis thread lets keep it at that

This.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This.

I tried mate!

Svitolina through can't say I wanted that result much but well done was a weird game Kuders up 4-1 double break then a MTO for a back injury of some sort then barely won a game after. Still tried out there, but WD to Svitolina even though I hope she's flogged next round

Name anyone defending Jones then, the same bloke who joined in the African gangs beat up.
