Doesn't that depend on existing vaccine efficacy against future variants, future vaccine development, and future science about immunity after contraction? A lot has changed during the course of this pandemic, and a lot more could change in the months and years ahead. I know it sounds strange after nearly 2 years of dealing with this crap, but it's too early to draw lines in the sand. We have no idea what the future holds.

Re: C19 and Tennis
I don't think Djokovic's vaccine status will impact the ban. The ban is related to being deported from Australia for attempting an illegal entry. Basically his career at the Australian Open is over, and I doubt he even wants to ever return to the country after what has happened.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Djokovic won't be banned for 3 years. That's simply the government taking advantage of the situation and flexing its muscles for the sake of being re-elected (it's an election year).
There is plenty of time - and plenty of avenues - for this 'decision' to be overturned. And it will be.
Unless Djokovic retires within the next year - in that case, he would likely not appeal the 3 year ban, and it may remain.

Re: C19 and Tennis
We overlooked this factoid:
The Australians have always been good at Tennis.
They know how to return a Serb.

Re: C19 and Tennis
After stating last week that Djokovic would be allowed to play in France, the French sports minister today said there would be no exemption from France's new vaccine pass law.
"France's vaccine pass law, approved by parliament on Sunday, will require people to have a certificate of vaccination to enter public places such as restaurants, cafes, cinemas and long-distance trains. The rule is simple. The vaccine pass will be imposed, as soon as the law is promulgated, in establishments that were already subject to the health pass," the ministry said. "This will apply to everyone who is a spectator or a professional sportsperson. And this until further notice. "Now, as far as Roland Garros is concerned, it's in May. The situation may change between now and then and we hope that it will be more favourable. So we'll see, but clearly there's no exemption."

Re: C19 and Tennis
I don't think he can go to IW or Miami either. USA doesn't allow entry of non vaccinated foreigners except under some very specific circumstances (refugees, immigrant visas etc).

Re: C19 and Tennis
At a minimum, it looks like if he doesn't vaccinate, 2022 is over for him.
McEnroe went on a rant about how Novax had "guts" to go down under with no vaccines. Sure, nobody is denying he has guts. The questions revolve around "brains".

The 3-year ban might be automatic, and people can appeal it if they have a reason to return.Deuce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:52 am Djokovic won't be banned for 3 years.

Re: C19 and Tennis
I found it in another forum that I belong to, which is NOT tennis related (cars). The people there are, shall we say, less restrained and polite than we are here and they are really piling it on top of Novax.

Re: C19 and Tennis
I just saw this. Unfortunate for her and other affected players (maybe she can still enter and play doubles?) but the timing of this shouldn't depend on sporting events.
