“It would certainly be helpful for Novak to explain what the condition is, which is why he wants an exception, but in the end it is his decision,” Tyley added.
“I don’t care how good a tennis player he is. If he refuses a vaccine, he shouldn’t be allowed to participate,” Dr Stephen Parnis said on Twitter. Other tennis players also joined the discussion. “I think it’s very interesting. I won’t say anything more,” commented Australia’s first rocket Alex de Minor.
