I take the position I take and I have always thought the same. I will not reveal my status whether I have been vaccinated or not. It is a private matter and according to our law, whoever asks you, you can in some way charge him for asking you. That is an immoderate question. Too many people today allow themselves such freedom to ask things and condemn a person. Whatever you answer: "Yes, I didn't, maybe, I don't know, I'm thinking!" they will abuse it. The media has become, I have no word how to describe it. It spreads fear and panic among people and I don’t want to participate in that rift. I feel that everyone is hostile. I don’t want to give them a reason to write some things about me. Now what I told you, one of your editors can take and make a scandal out of it. I don't want to take part in any storm that is happening right now. I'm telling you sports, I don't know if I'll go.Of course I want to go, Australia is my most successful Grand Slam, I want to participate, I love this sport, I still have motivation, but I said why I have motivation.

Hmmm Im trying to put this as delicately as I can...... if Novak wants to be a leader off the court, especially with the new ATP Union he needs to be a better example, than what he just showed.

At this point there really is no excuse for this level of ignorance. Especially when he's in a position where people look to him as a role model. He refuses to recognize the lives that vaccine hesitancy is costing. And on top of it he tries to make himself out to be a victim. Absolutely brutal.

"You'll need to be double vaccinated to visit Australia. That's a universal application, not just to tennis players. I mean that every visitor to Australia will need to be double vaccinated," Hawke told Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio.
"I don't have a message to Novak. I have a message to everybody that wishes to visit Australia. He'll need to be double vaccinated."

Medvedev also on board the Novax train
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/tenni...ccine-25277924
Quote:
“There is a lot of division in the society, not only in sports, but in the whole society, between those who have not been vaccinated and have been vaccinated,” said Medvedev. “And that’s really scary.
“That we fell for discriminating against someone if he wants to decide for himself one way or another, whether he wants to be vaccinated or not.
“I am very disappointed with the world society at this moment and the way in which the media transmit and put pressure on all people.
“There is too much ambiguity, too much information that is not valid, so it turns out that it is, so it is not, everything changes a lot.”
“I liked what Novak said about this. He said the vaccination was a personal matter and he would not be making it public,” the 25-year-old added. “And I also decided not to disclose medical things.
“As for Australia: everyone will see who is vaccinated and who is not. Of course, the players can say that they are injured, but this will be a play on words.
“I want to play in Australia, that’s all I can say.”

Reminder that professional athletes who have dedicated their lives to hitting a ball or other small object into an arbitrarily defined space are generally not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Jannik Sinner decided to just roll through the weekend in Antwerp with 6-2 set scores. Took out Lloyd Harris and Diego Schwartzman in the semi-final and final respectively.

The amazing thing is that Sinner didn't start playing tennis seriously until he was 13 (he was too busy being a pretty good skier in northern Italy).
