Oh, sure. He could have skipped this one, but I believe that the drive is there and he still believes he can beat the young ones at this slow hard court.

Holiday-itis.

Adelaide draw looks really good anyway. Azarenka-Badosa and Ferenandez-Alexandrova R1. Potential Barty-Gauff and Fernandez-Swiatek R2.

Not sure if this matters at all, but ...https://tennishead.net/novak-djokovic-g ... 1640992983

I have a feeling that he will play, just because it seems likely that the other slams will require vaccination and I can't see him throwing away all 4 Slams this year. We shall see.

Tennis Australia are clinging to hope Novak Djokovic will board one of the final charter flights to Melbourne at the end of the week.

As Djokovic moved his Australian Open preparations from Belgrade to Marbella in Spain, TA chief executive Craig Tiley revealed a handful of unvaccinated players had been granted exemptions and arrived in Australia.

“We know of athletes that have applied for an exemption and in cases, it’s been granted.

“Some of those [players] have indicated that they’re here, but that’s up to the athlete, to disclose and [decide] whether they want to share that information.”

Do we know of any players who have disclosed that they have an exemption?

Indeed, needed information. WHO got an exception, and WHY did they get it.

I think this would be private medical information.

No, it's not a HIPAA violation. This was a talking point that got shot down early in the pandemic. To travel anywhere internationally your vaccine status has always been required. to enter school in the States your child has to be vaccinated. Tiley is being cute here.

Is Isner vaccinated?

I think she meant that the reason for any exemption would be private.

I misread and misunderstood her point. Thanks for the clarification.

Right but the public doesn’t have a right to know. Relevant officials do.

Yes I meant more so the underlying reasons for an exemption.
