I had an idea it would be No.
Quite frankly Novak would know that some of the tournaments in 2022 you have to be double vaccinated,and after debacle in Australia,and he does want to break records,I feel he is vaccinated.Would he enter IW without being vaccinated? I dont think so.
I don't even think he'll get into the US without being vaccinated. And IW says they won't have him if he's not.

I understand that,though do you honestly think after what happened in Australia, he would try to pull a swiftly in IW,like he did in Australia? honestly I think not.

I don't think it's about Djokovic trying to pull something off. What I'm saying is that US immigration is no joke, like Australian immigration. He just got deported from Australia under a cloud of not only being unvaccinated, but questions about his paperwork. And even the veracity of his covid paperwork. If US immigration decides not to believe him, there is nothing for it.

Well immigration does tend to alter from country to country,though calling Australia immigation a 'joke' is a bit over the top,may I say.I have been to countries where their immigration rules I feel are too strict,still I have to abide by their rules.I would never call their rules a joke or over the top.
If the USA decides not to believe him,so be it.Still I feel he is vaccinated.
BTW I have to apply for a visa to get into the USA I have never thought it was a 'joke' .

I acknowledge he won’t get special treatment , and yes, his is a very publicized case.

But c’mon, the # 1 tennis player in the world entering the country for a tennis tournament is NOT going to be questioned for his reasons . He won’t be confused as a model nor a academic. Professional athletes enter this country all the time . Serbian nationals , vaccinated, enter this country all the time. Lots of luck detaining him if there is no viable reason to bar him. US State dept dealing with the Serbian Gov claiming their player is being singled out? Publicity works both ways.

Now it’s just a matter of whether he decides to vaccinate or not.
Probably, yes, he gets in, if he's vaccinated. No one wants an international incident. (Again.)

Sorry, when I said US immigration is not joke like Australian immigration, I meant that neither is. Clearly Australian immigration immigration is tough. That was what I intended there.

BTW your young gun FAA plays Andy Murray tomorrow.
Andy Murray is the greatest……jajaja This should be a good match for Felix. Andy’s style of play truly allows a player like Felix to groom his strokes. Felix will have to play a clean game and make good decisions because Andy will not defeat himself. Thanks for letting me know. I haven’t watch one point of tennis since the King of Slams defeated the new prince of the harcourt.

He ain't gonna get vaccinated, he won't disappoint Front and El Dude..He can play in 2023 if the pandemic is Over.
I don’t know. I can’t see him giving free reign to Nadal to collect trophies nor do I see him sitting out a year to give players time to find confidence in their games to make his life even harder than it is.

So Shapo goes out in R1 of Rotterdam to quali. Who's he going to blame this loss on?
Bad hair day. He should go back to the bandana, and get that "Dennis the Menace" look back. He had success back them. I wore that same hair style when I was in like 11th grade, but that's another story. Shapo does seem to be very chirpy these days. It never does seem to be his fault, does it?:laugh:

Stefenos Tsitsipas has added Thomas Enqvist to his team.Though Tsitsipas made it clear that Apostolos is still his caoch and that he didn't travel with him so that he could start working with the Swede.Tsitsipas is still not clear how often Enqvist will be with him on the tour.

He is still in great condition and 11 months younger than Rafa plus no major injuries the past five years.

I need Berrettini to wear better clothes from Boss. Tennis kit great. Other clothes he is wearing from them are a mixed bag.
