How many tennis rackets did Djokovic smash when he lost his appeal?

I'm absolutely devastated since I heard the news. I've taken to my bed. I can't keep down solid food.
What's the world come to?
Is there no justice?
Is there no God?

Djokovic was the first item on the RNZ news last night.

The tsunami in Tonga was relegated to second place.

Novax Djocovid more like (I'm 'ere all week). My heart bleeds for the poor little multimillionaire - especially seeing him have to stay in the same hotel as actual asylum seekers (though not for 10 years, and without the stay in Christmas Island concentration camp first).

(otoh the Australian tennis people did fcuk him about, telling him he was allowed in, which wasn't really his fault I suppose (though wouldn't it just be easier to just take your medicine you wew (all the other tennisists don't seem to have dropped dead of myocarditis yet - it'd be a level playing field then anyway (I think I'd prefer dead tennis)

Apparently he's keen on taking plenty of other "medicine" to keep himself in tip top condition. Tennis is full of dopers (Nadal's another one) but because it's one of the favoured sports of the upper middle class, it gets ignored.

Good to see him getting told to gtfo although disappointing, and completely par for the course, to not see any media really hammering home the points raised by Sinister above, i.e. the usual (disgusting) treatment of asylum seekers by Australia compared to how he was treated. Even when he spent the night in the "asylum hotel" they couldn't be arsed to do more than mention it in one sentence.

To continue with sporting metaphors, it's like having an open goal and turning around and shooting the other way. They are well practiced at that.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

They didn't ignore Maria Sharapova. Possibly because it was a handy way to scold and embarrass Russia.

Ah yeah - football - an anti-capitalist sport for the working classes.

Football is awash with PEDs too; Rugby also. Tennis gets a pass on absolutely everything though. The class aspect of sport shows when footballers, and more often fans (although less often now they have become more middle class) become whipping boys for the Tory media.

Rugby is also a kind of football.

Anyway, now we can settle down and concentrate on what matters.

It was Djokovic's opinions which got him deported, public health issues were already settled in his favour.

A display of state power by the Pfizercrats.

His Twitter increasingly clarifies a lot just lately although none of it good.
