Australian Open Tennis

Clearly a germ that has no shame.

and give him the 'traditional' booting.

Or wait until the night before the final, even…

Imagine that, a bemused Nadal/Medvedev picks up the trophy by walkover on a near-empty court, with only a few protesting Serbians in attendance, along with maybe a few annoyed ticketholders who decide they may as well still turn up and watch the doubles…

looks like this is what they are planning.

Minister has cancelled the Joker's visa "in the public's interest".

Now fark off & grovel to your PM.

Grovelling to the Serb Big Cheese aint likely to do much good either based on recent utterances - he was surprisingly stinting in his support for his country's No 1 asset.

So we won’t see Serbia invade Australia over the weekend, starting the biggest sport-fuelled war since Honduras v El Salvador?

Are Franz Ferdinand still going?

Yeah, might be fitting for them to do the half-time show…

A few years ago they teamed up with Sparks to form “FFS”. Not sure if they got a gig in a branch of John Lewis.

Murray makes the final in Sydney. He couldn’t, could he? (By that I mean subject us to that Sunday morning of crushing inevitability that we became used to on an annual basis in the early ‘10s…)

Reminding us that a certain Serb with attitude isn't quite the world's only tennis legend, or the only player with a problem - Chris Evert, 67, has revealed she is about to undergo treatment for ovarian cancer.

It was detected very early, but the same disease has already claimed her younger sister, Jeannie, who joined her on the pro circuit for a while in the 70s before retiring at the age of 21.

You’ve read The Soccer War by Ryszard K?

bye Novak

FOAD

A lucky loser takes the #1 seed slot in the draw, that’s pretty ridiculous…

And to think that two little jabs could've saved all of this palaver.

Joker, you are a true petulant farkwit. You didn't read the room. You were attempting to fly into the most locked down city in the world, unvaccinated,

You got what you deserved. Good riddance.

And if you think you'll be missed - do the arm-in-the-sink test to measure exactly how much

I kind of want them to all finish on 20 now, but it would rub it in if Nadal won it.

Somewhere, Vilks is steaming.

Set to be banned from the French Open as well. Nadal could be 2 ahead of him by Wimbledon…

Suggestions Australia might waive the automatic three-year entry ban though.

If a half-fit, 35-year-old Nadal wins this… well, it couldn’t be a much bigger statement about the quality of the modern day pretenders.

Even Federer will fancy coming back and winning a couple more, if he’s had his jabs…

I hope Kyrgios doesn't win the doubles

A couple of Australians will win the Men's Doubles final but which ones?
