1. I hope he loses in straight sets

[demmiblue]

2. He's not in yet... it is still in limbo.

But if he is, I wish the same!

3. Boo, hiss!

4. This is so wrong

The entitled always seem to win.

5. No decision has been made yet.

But I have to wonder if this puts pressure on them to allow him to play.

6. If he is currently the best men's tennis player

In the tournament why should he not be ranked #1? We don’t have to like someone personally or their politics but denying reality seems silly.

9. Umm, that isn't the point. n/t

11. Okay, I read the OP again and must be missing

The point you were trying to make. Perhaps you can make it clear to me?

7. If he is allowed to play he will be booed off the court.

8. I would hope so!

Something makes me think they may be trying to work out a deal where he agrees to leave on his own-
but, with his arrogance & giant ego who knows.

10. He would have to be the #1 seed.

He's won the last 3 Australian Opens and I believe he is currently ranked #1 in men's tennis.

12. he's the best player right now

and so he should be the #1 seed.


as for if he should play or not, that's a different discussion.

13. "Deport, deport, deport."

Come on Australia, do the right thing.
