Tennis anyone?

I am enjoying the faux outrage from the antivaxxer crowd, when you know they are just LOVING the martyrdom opportunity here. Possible the only people more OPPRESSED than Novax are White Christian Conservatives in America. AMIRITE!

Yeah that makes sense. Being a shot at Florida, not so much, which is how I took it on a first reading.

I’m trying to categorize my Australian Open tennis bets in a spreadsheet.

Example - Football / NFL

Are Grand Slam events their own thing? Aka would “Tennis / GS” make sense? Or are these ATP events too? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense.

Actually only one shot. Someone posted earlier that he could have gotten one J&J and been good to go per Australian rules.

Its way higher than 81% unless you mean including little kids. Our two most populous states are low-mid 90s.

Same thing with Florida and California, the rates I quoted rates include everyone.

So the lucky loser got Novak’s spot…and promptly lost in straight sets to Novak’s fellow Serb Kecmanovic. Rooting for him, Kyrgios, Medvedev, and whoever is playing Nadal. Fucken hate that guy.

Actually rooting for Rafa to put Djoko 2 away.

Really doesn’t seem like France is going to let him.

Consequences.

Want to bet? I think he plays in the French. Ralph isn’t winning the AO regardless, be lucky to get to the quarters.

My guess is that he pulls out all the stops to get fake documentation of vaccination. I don’t think he really cares about the identify politics of antivaxxers, he’s just afraid that the vaccine has gluten in it or something stupid like that. I think he’ll happily lie about being vaxxed and the Croatian government will probably happily give him official certifications to that effect.

I was thinking about this, I’m pretty sure he could have done this here. Like if I’m a Serbian nurse how much do I need Novak to pay me to give him a fake shot. Keep in mind that Serbia’s per capita GDP is like $8,000. I’m betting if he pays a nurse a hundred thousand dollars she’ll give him as many fake shots as he wants. So I think you’re wrong, because he would have already done it if he wanted to fake it. And since now it’s A Thing he’s not going to want to backtrack.

Or he assumed he would just be able to bully his way into Australia, so why risk the fake shot. If he gets caught for fake shot, he could be in a bunch of trouble, so why risk it if you think it’s not necessary. Sure, you can bribe the nurse for a fake shot, but what’s then to stop her from blackmailing you for more.

I have no idea how to handicap French politicians. Good luck finding action.

Hire her to permanently be on Novak’s staff making five times the Serbian nursing wage? Wouldn’t be that hard to find someone, he’s a national hero and many Serbs would probably do it for free. Still be peanuts to Novak, he’d probably make more than he’d pay the nurse for the next five years just in the AO alone. And anyway, he probably already has someone on his staff that’d be more than happy to do exactly that.

Maybe. Guessing he thought he would get his way. Actually being banned from a Grand Slam tournament probably never crossed his mind.

A baguette that’s at least 4 weeks old to the hip.

Like, remember, this dude has a full time medical team injecting him with illicit PEDs! They’re going to balk at giving him a fake vaccine shot? lol?

Grands slams are separate. They aren’t part of the atp tour.
