Guy who wasn't deported wins Australian Open
Rafael Nadal wins Australian Open to become most successful man in tennis history
Roger Federer, who had been level with Nadal on 20 Grand Slams, paid tribute to his rival after the Spaniard's win against Daniil Medvedev. Federer hailed Nadal's achievement as "amazing", adding: "Never underestimate a great champion."
I see that the BBC looked into the positive PCR test that the Serb chap claimed to have had. They dance around trying to imply that it was bogus without quite saying so. I suppose he's rich enough to sue. Or maybe they're holding something back in hopes of tempting him to sue.

ReplyDeleteBBC vs the Serb: pity they can't both lose.
James - yes, Australian Closed would be more apt.
ReplyDeletedearieme - hard to tell with the BBC. Implying without quite saying so is a standard BBC approach so they may be holding nothing back at all.
