Yep, I think he was misled by the Australian Tennis Association. Whether they did that because they didn't hear the advice or they heard it and decided that no one would actually send him away - I don't know. I'm cynical enough to believe it was deliberate and that's why their boss is proud of what they did:

Of course the interesting thing about the timeline is that with a positive test date of the 16th, he was too late to apply to the AO for a medical exemption officially. But also, it may well be correct to say that he subsequently wasn't allowed to get a vaccination - due to a standard sort of 28 day hold on having a jab post new infection. Maybe he also claims he had an appointment for a J&J on the same day but couldn't attend

After all, he was busy being presented with a new stamp and meeting kids that week, so maybe it was going to be a big week for him. I'm sure his lawyers are working on the evidence trail.
