teniseri o svemu:
prije svega ovoga na aerodromu:
Team GB on Djokovic’s medical exemption
Jamie Murray: I think if it was me that wasn't vaccinated, I wouldn't be getting an exemption, and that's... You know, but well done to him for getting clear to come to Australia and compete.
Liam Broady: At the end of the day you kind of have to trust that he does have a valid reason for the medical exemption. That’s all you can say about it really isn’t it.
Team Australia on Djokovic’s medical exemption
James Duckworth: Apparently it's an independent panel, he must have fit the criteria somehow, so yeah, he's fit the criteria then he should be able to come.
Alex de Minaur: That’s very politically correct of you… (Both laugh) As James has very nicely put out there, I think he’s, you know, said all the right things there (both laugh). Look I just think it’s very interesting. That’s all I’m gonna say. But hey, it is what it is.
Rod Laver says it would be in Djokovic’s “best interests" to open up on his exemption. “If he’s got a reason then... We should know it. Yes, you’re a great player and you’ve performed and won so many tournaments, so it can’t be physical. So what is the problem?”

What do you think of the exemption granted to Novak Djokovic?
I don't take it badly, while understanding those who might think I'm taking it badly... I'm not shocked, I don't feel wronged. I don't think he's the only one who has had one. And I would not like to be in his place when he gets off the plane because he will not, I think, have a welcome worthy of a world number one. If his exemption was accepted, it was accepted for valid reasons. We were waiting for the verdict. Having experienced the rigors of the Australian Open last year, I thought the answer was going to be negative. And I'm pleasantly surprised.
At this point?
Yes. I take it as the fact that an unvaccinated person has the right to go to work. Would it have been normal for someone not to be able to defend their chances for extra-sporting reasons? I tell myself that there may be a glimmer of hope to get out of this ultra-divisive theme. For now, the future is rather bleak for the unvaccinated. I have no vision. It is painful. I still haven't managed to get vaccinated. I have this debate with me every day. I know I'm shooting myself in the foot, but I have my freedom to refuse the vaccine. When I made the decision not to get vaccinated, I knew it could jeopardize my chances of going to Australia or the United States. The big blow is now France with the possibility of this vaccine pass. I didn't expect it. For now, I'm supposed to leave in a few days at the Forli Challenger in Italy. But I admit that I find it difficult to follow the guidelines of all countries. I dread the moment when I am forbidden to enter a field.
Did you apply for an exemption from the Australian Open?
No, because I had no valid reason to ask for one. I had no antibodies, namely that I had not contracted the virus. I had done in case a test, negative. And an ultrasound of the heart, which did not detect anything special.

poslije aerodroma:
medo
"For me it's tough to say. If he had a fair exemption from the rule, well, he should be here; if he didn't, he shouldn't be here. To be honest, it sounds easy, but again, it seems very tough in real life, and I don't know the insides of the story," Medvedev said, per Tennis Majors.

"It's a Grand Slam tournament that he has won nine times. It would be nice for tennis if he was there," Zverev said. "But rules are rules. I'll never say a bad word about Novak in my life, but I don't know enough details to be able to protect him."
