I actually agree with you that years from now the players records will stand as their book "legacy". By that same token, it will be interesting if he vaccinates and thus is able to play the claycourt circuit and the FO. He has an opportunity to be the only player to win all the Majors 3 times if he wins the FO this year, and IMO Novak is well aware of records/milestones he is capable of still achieving. Novak has been relatively injury free for most of his career and I've always said his physical body was custom-made to be a tennis champion (GUMBY indeed).
What happened at the AO is done. Can't go back. The rest of the year is another matter. One can debate the "fairness" of the AO decision until the cows come out, but looking ahead for the clay season and the FO, both France and Spain it seems are not going to give out exemptions for non vaccinated. I have no problems if for personal convictions or health reasons, Novak chooses not to vaccinate. At 34 there could be a narrowing window for him to build more his legacy in the tennis books, so I'm just curious as to what his decisions will be going forward.
Novak has no reason to feel like he needs redeeming! As a rookie I thought he was quite charming imitating other top players like Rafa and Sharapova! No matter what he does, it'll never be enough to satisfy the masses! People are so dead set on "hating" on the guy! The Tennis Intelligentsia truly believe tennis begins and ends with Fedal! If I were him, I'd continue to smile and ignore the detractors as always! He's so close to overtaking Fedal it's making them crazy!
