should it have been allowed to get this far, pam? no. to be september the 10th, and the only way you could get an exemption was pretty clear, and it was not because you tested positive. there's been many, many documents put out by the federal government. remember, it's the border, it's the immigration. it's not about a medical panel that tennis australia or the victorian government... that's not who controls the borders. those of us who have been coming to australia for decades know how tough that border crossing is, even in normal times, and it was very clear, players needed to be double—vaxxed in order to come into the country that it suffered so much, especially during melbourne, they had some of the strictest lockdown rules of the pandemic for the last 18, 20 months. so, novak, it was embarrassing for him, he never should have been granted the exemption. i think he was perfectly accepting that he wouldn't be able to play because of his stance about not getting vaccinated, so the whole thing has so miscommunications, twists and turns
