Can we please stop giving this Oxygen. Time to move on from this drama and focus on other important things in life

It’s still a big big story and this is a discussion forum, but of course no one has to be in here or read it. I’ve lost some interest but as new bits and pieces come up I’ll likely follow it again.

And of course the threads been an absolute belter. As well as being topical and informative it’s been one of the funniest I’ve seen. With a happy ending. And cake.

With Djokavic’s upcoming visa issues for the tournaments ahead and the scrutiny on TA, plenty left to run on this one yet.

You’d expect TA to cop a bit of heat after the latest revelation

We need Wosh to promise cake with another cake topper for the French open. Doesn't matter whether he's in or out, really!

After all, it was a French queen who said "Let them eat cake."

Shocked! Stunned!

Sam Newman was practically jizzing his pants talking to Locco on his podcast today. "Djokovic is a star", "this government is the most corrupt, dishonest, blah blah blah..." Same thing every week.

None of this information (as yet unverified) should be a surprise to anyone, nor does it change the fact that the ABF and Alex Hawke took the right course of action. It merely emphasises how manipulative Craig Tiley and Tennis Australia have been in this circus. Is the board of TA accountable to anyone? They're not going to sack themselves.

The lesson for rich people: pack your own suitcase and fill in your own forms. Don’t leave everything to minions and only find out later that they tucked something into the lining or ticked the wrong box.

The first 3 bits are the interesting claims . I didn't understand How he got his visa in November . If true what docs did TA supply and were they legit?

Visa itself is pretty straight forward. As long as there's no criminal history or past immigration issues, there'd be no reason to deny it. It's just the first step. No questions there about vax status - that comes later.

TA would probably have his details on file from previous entries - presumably they've done this for a few years!

Needs to prolong his career now he won't play a Grand Slam in 2022.
