It's been the most jinxed slam of the lot for Rafa, peppered with bad preparation, hopefully this time he gets it right - and catches a bit of good luck too!Not at all
Yeah, let's totally disregard, forget, and/or forgive the "Diva" antics of Nastase, Connors, McEnroe, Agassi, & Becker! Please! They're more famous for being A-Holes really! McEnroe's cleaning up in commercials on that petulant persona created by "the tennis brat!" I'll take the articulate and more down to Earth character of Novak over Connors or Becker anytime! He's disappointed me over this issue of C-19 and common sense, but there's no reason for him to be held more accountable than political leadership around the world that keeps strife going in one way or another! Deflecting to this one man is not going to prove anything!
I think he rather did, by speaking out so early (Summer 2020) about his objection to the USO protocols and that, even before there was a vaccine, saying that he wasn't keen to be required to take one, should they ever be mandated. IMO, this was an unforced error. Sometimes he is a bit too open, when keeping the cards closer to the vest might be the best strategy. But, hey, that's why his fans love him. However, I do agree with you that he's been hounded by the press, of late, when his position is: I don't want to discuss my vaccination status. He keeps wishing and hoping that would be a conversation stopper, to no avail. Two problems: a) he originally opened that can of worms himself, and b) he's #1 in the world, and 9x winner at the AO. Hence, the drama and the vax-watch.
Would anyone of those guys refuse to disclose their vaccination shot status?..I seriously doubt it..but it's just my opinion.Yeah, let's totally disregard, forget, and/or forgive the "Diva" antics of Nastase, Connors, McEnroe, Agassi, & Becker!
