Why are people shocked by Djokovic’s father.

Serbians and Russians have always had close ties to one another.

the ex pat serbs and russians i know unanimously regard putin as a dangerous sociopath who is damaging russia. what isn't surprising is the old man is a r.w.n.j who is so stupid he'd allow his private feelings 2 become a headline and distraction. piss him off.

Great decision from Lightweight Albo to let this garbage family back into the country.
Maybe he can get Shaq back to solve this problem just like Mr. SportsBet solved Aboriginal inequality.

think albo has shown - 2 my surprise - he's no lightweight. but i agree the 3 year ban shouldn't have been lifted. hopefully the yanks don't allow the media manipulator and perennial victim 2 play there.

It's a bad look but who cares

Pfffahahahahahahahahahaha LOL

Im happy to board ban posters who aren't here throughout the year (aka only post during AO). Keep it focussed on the real posters/fans?

What a terrible idea.
Semi final day and the thread isn’t even on a 2nd page yet.

What a terrible idea.

Merely a suggestion based on a poster unhappy with 2 week posters during the open.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Yeah, it's no surprise. He probably even had plausible denyability given he was walking through and didn't see the front of the flag from what I saw. But that was gone when the other guy started talking.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

So Novaks old man has to watch his son play on TV at home

That would probably upset Novak and will take out his anger/frustration on Paul

 

[Romeoh1]

Novak’s parents, like him, are nutty, and say stupid things a fair bit, but I don’t really care what he says.

GOAT

 

[Blue Arrow]

Albo so happy right now

 

[SAweagle]

we should ban all russians belarusians serbs and maybe the chinese from everything!

i also propose that their flags be officially changed to white

ukrainian athletes should be awarded all major trophies regardless who actually wins from now on until america deems it fit to stop.

please never let novak back into melbourne, he didnt take his jab. its just common sense.

This thread ages like fine wine. Delicious.

 

[Stan Van Gundy]

Saw his match against Rublev live and it's actually ridiculous how good he is. He's on another level, a class above.

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

Suck on that b******

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

This thread ages like fine wine. Delicious.

Novak's win was... the sweetest victory of all.

 

[phantom13]

Probably speaks to Novaks level of unlikeability that there are still people trying to argue against him being the GOAT.

Hell clear Rafa this year and surge ahead in the next couple. I think even if he has 4 or 5 more than the next closest people will still try to advocate for Rafa and Roger cause Novak just comes across as such a tool.

 

[Redline]

I don't think he will win the Grand Slam as I think someone will get him at some point during the year but his best is so much better than everyone else that even if he dropped to 80% of what he is at now over the coming years with age he still wins a few more titles.

Should end up at least four ahead of Nadal by the end of their careers.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

So happy for the bloke, went through a lot and you could see it when the emotions spilled over.

By the end of his career he will hold every single record, he is the greatest of all time.
