Please share 'what you have', Jeremy! Given the circumstances, and your claim that it's directly related to the vaccine, if you received a specific diagnosis, we'd all love to know what that is...

Re: C19 and Tennis
Chardy was complaining about low energy level that does not allow him to train properly. The physical effort required for pro training can't be compared with an effort for regular travel and other routine activities.JazzNU wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 8:58 pm Yeah, I read that before. But he can't be struggling too much. In Zambia now, was in Nice for a wedding a few weeks ago. and was in NYC for the Open and was carrying his son on his shoulders. If you're debilitated, you don't travel around to multiple locales with your beautiful wife and son living it up.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Isn't Tsitsipas also antivax? Not heard anything about Nadal or Federer, but hopefully not. Only Murray has been vocally for on ATP tour.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Nadal's spoken strongly in favor of the vaccines from the beginning:

Reportedly, both he and Federer are vaccinated.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Yes on Tsitsipas being at least vaccine hesitant if not anti-vax, but has said he would take it if mandatory. Medvedev is another one that at the very least said previously he's not interested in taking it. Nadal has been vocal about his support of vaccines. I'm not sure if Fed has been all that vocal, but he's definitely already vaccinated.
Kyrgios has been one of the most outspoken pro-vaccine, but few want to give him credit for anything so it's just kind of whatever. Once Andy started talking, I don't recall seeing much mention of Nick again on the matter.

Re: C19 and Tennis
In normal circumstances, if Nick is strongly FOR something, then it makes sense to be AGAINST it. This is one of the few exceptions.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Will they humiliate Novak like this? Thiem banned from watching tournament he previously won
The Austrian cannot be in the stands to watch the tournament in Vienna because he has not been vaccinated
Austria's best tennis player Dominic Thiem cannot watch the ATP tournament currently taking place in Vienna live at the venue because he has not been vaccinated against coronavirus.
Thiem, which has been injured since June and is working to return to the court, has meanwhile started training with the ball and racket.
However, he has not been able to enter the Vienna venue as a spectator, where his many rivals are playing the tournament he won in 2019.
Namely, at this tournament, the so-called "2G" rule is applied to the audience, according to which only vaccinated or people who have recovered from Covid can enter the hall.
Players and their coaches can also show a negative PCR test to participate.
Thiem announced a couple of weeks ago that he has not yet been vaccinated against coronavirus, and that it is waiting for the Novavax vaccine, which has not yet been approved.
This is just one of the problems that have appeared in world tennis lately, and the biggest dilemma is about the participation of tennis players who have not been vaccinated (including our Novak Djokovic) at the Australian Open in early 2022.
Novak is the record holder and nine-time winner of this tournament, but he is threatened with a ban from entering almost every day by Australian authorities, unless he shows proof of receiving the coronavirus vaccine.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Kyrgios has been loud about encouraging people to get vaccinated and to follow the safely mandates... but, I suppose typically for him, it's a lot of 'do as I say, not as I do'.
I've seen him either maskless or with the mask under his chin when others were masked in environments where masks were either recommended or mandatory...
Then there's his towel thing - refusing outright to use the individual on-court towel bins properly... sometimes throwing numerous towels on the court, in the general direction of his towel bin... other times draping his towel half over his bin and half over his opponent's towel in the other bin.
Sigh...

Re: C19 and Tennis
So. We are getting to the point in which, when somebody is asked to follow a rule, agreed upon by everybody else, and they don't, and then the proper correction or sanction is applied, we are HUMILIATING THEM?

Re: C19 and Tennis
Totally not a humiliation. I wonder if something was lost in translation, although even a softer version of “humiliate” misses the mark, in my opinion.ponchi101 wrote:So.

Re: C19 and Tennis
This thing about humiliating their fave has been a constant refrain ever since Australia began making it clear they were not relaxing their standards for athletes.
