C19 and Tennis

Bencic tested positive, though fully vaccinated. She's pretty sick. Plans to show up in Australia when she can. So that's three players from Mubadala who tested positive there or after they returned home, right? Raducanu, Nadal, and Bencic.

You see, I would give Vyklyantseva a break. It is not her fault that the sole vaccine available in her country has not been validated. Show your proof of vaccination, get PCR tested. But she is definitely not against vaccination.

Seriously, Russia only has one vaccinate approved and it hasn't been verified? Can people get the shot in a different country, if they have the means? Is that allowed?

Yes. But not sure if a Sputnik booster/second shot is given if your first one or two were elsewhere or vice versa. Tricky to plan around that.

I think it's pretty egregious that Sputnik isn't validated but the Chinese vaccines are.


Also, Russia actually has 3 vaccines avalable, newer ones were also released.

I thought Raducanu had tested positive before the exo, but you are right. She was there already.

Like clockwork. Mubadala was a superspreader, I guess.

I don't think there's any "guess" about it now though.

The question is whether the superspreader patient zero is King Juan Carlos II

I don't know. I know China only uses their vaccine, but I have no idea what the Russian Govt has set up.

A number of Russian figure skaters got an mRNA vaccine outside of Russia so that they would avoid problems entering countries like France where only vaccines approved in that country were recognized for entry.

Shapovalov is now another positive COVID-19 case who was in Abu-Dhabi.
I think it's pretty safe to say that he didn't get it from sharing a banana with someone.

No, there's still Evans, Fritz, & Murray.
