I find this to be outrageous. So year 2000 and 2021. If the US Open officials do maintain this stand, WTF?

Wimbeldon did ban Russian players, so be it to condemn Russia’s actions. But if Novak’s possible ban is held for him here what a stupid decision. IMO
Navak is not the only professional athlete that has refused the "temporary vaccination". Please recall what occurred with Aaron Rodgers as well.
