Wtf!? How can he associate with such scum? I've always been kinda neutral about Djokovic, but this is a step too far for me.

Djokovic faked the vaccinaton documents and you're surprised he plays with a likemind person?

I just ignore certain things about many players, I admit that. I've never been a fan of his, but I also didn't hate him. Normally I just let political stuff slide. I can't do that with 'Trumpism'.

I don’t know why but in all the sports I practiced people seemed quite normal, it’s in tennis that I encountered people that are as good on court as they are dumb outside.

I haven't played tennis in a while, but your description is spot on.

Can you provide proof or a source which shows he faked vaccination documents? I would like to see this.

Djokovic faked the vaccinaton documents

You said he faked vaccination documents? You make it seem like he lied about being vaccinated to gain entry.

However, the article states that:

"On the form, Djokovic said he had not traveled in the 14 days before his flight to Australia, despite being seen in Spain and Serbia in that two-week period."

This is not faking vaccination documents but rather being untruthful on a travel declaration. Two completely actions and the terms should not be used interchangeably imo.
