Re: WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022
Also, about Vika. I have no idea what kind of schooling she has done over the years and she's certainly been in the US for a good while, but I've been under the impression she's been here playing tennis, having fun, and soaking up pop culture more than gaining a more formal education and learning about the particulars of how the free press works here. She's still Belarusian at the end of the day and I'd guess a reporter doing something like this there would be an issue and can easily see where she wouldn't know the confidentiality mentioned in the email doesn't extend to a reporter that the story has been leaked to, thus breaking that confidentiality.

In a different article I read, the man said "The issue is settled because we will not authorize non-vaccinated people in".
Straight and to the point. Refreshing, for a politician.
Now, let's see where Novak's principles are. In one way, I don't mind Kyrie Irving's position; he is being a fool, but he has been a consistent fool. Let's see whether Novak takes the vaccine (meaning, he really does not believe in his "scientific" position) or or sticks to it (he is a fool for not being vaccinated).

I understand that there are other players not vaccinated (Sabalenka, for example) but this story will be 99% about Novak. He is going for Slam 21 at his most successful venue, and not participating due to a refusal to take a vaccine will be a huge story. If, as Megan has said, we end up with the three greatest players tied at 20 slams a piece, because of age, injuries and spurious science, it will be an incredible story, for the eternity of professional tennis (Roger and Rafa could not control their situations; Novak can).

Novak's fans are going to be more unbearable in the next few months on social media, and they already set the standard for unbearable tennis fans.

Re: WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022
I wonder if the atp would withdraw accreditation to the ausopen if it doesn't allow non- vaccinated players ...any atp event has to be Open? There have been precedents, I think, when countries have had tournaments taken away because they would not allow certain players to play.... Usually, political grounds, of course...COVID is certainly testing us all...!

This would amount to the ATP would not offering points and providing support staff, like trainers. Guessing the ITF doesn’t have their own. Players could still enter and earn the prize money. I don’t think this will happen, but the thought exercise is interesting.ashkor87 wrote:I wonder if the atp would withdraw accreditation to the ausopen if it doesn't allow non- vaccinated players ...any atp event has to be Open?

Slams belong to the ITF so I doubt the ATP has any say.

He's been so weird in his explanations about it being private medical data and that people will have to wait until Australia to see. I wonder if he'd been vaccinated all along.

Not sure it was posted here, I don't recall seeing it, but Rublev has confirmed that he will get vaccinated in the off-season so he can be ready to travel to Melbourne. He was one who had previously stated he would not be getting the vaccine.
