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
I don't find this outrageous at all. He would be endangering the lives and health of all fo the other players and possibly the fans.

What I find outrageous is his refusal to get vaccinated.
