Novak willing to miss French and Wimbledon to uphold his vax principles.

That'll learn us!

I can’t see how this is interesting really. A person who refuses to get vaccinated can’t get into certain countries for work or pleasure because they aren’t vaccinated and don’t possess the relevant paperwork. It’s not telling us anything we aren’t aware of:shrug:

The notion that everyone is free to do what they like is a hard one to argue against in itself, but when that freedom impinges on others or could even end up meaning others die, then it becomes easier. That’s when “freedom” begins to turn into selfishness.

Mainly because he is the no1 ranked tennis player in the world I’d guess. He won’t be playing another grand slam event for a while, the French have already said they won’t let unvaccinated in, no way the yanks will. Just leaves us…..the way we pamper to every whim of almost anyone these days, we will probably let the twat in..:hehe:

He is perfectly entitled not to get the vaccination, cant see it will matter soon enough anyway.

Wimbledon is the only Slam I can see him playing this year.
His stubbornness won't do him any favours getting back into Australia next year either

Hasn't he got an automatic three year ban from entering Aus? Or maybe that was just a possibility.

He has but he can appeal.

Agree or disagree people still have a choice.

Agree or disagree people still have a choice.

Of course they and it must be respected, no matter how stubborn or daft we think they are, but they must realise that consequences come with that choice. After all anyone else wanting to travel has to abide by the rules of the relevant country otherwise it’s no go, there should be no exceptions whatsoever, top sportsman or not. Viruses are no respecter of status, his stance may have spread it during its worst period.

Couldn't agree more. Absolutely his choice. And his choice will be his legacy: a man who could have held the most major titles in the men's game but won't because he removed himself from contention over his belief that his understanding of science was better than that of the global science community.

But at least as compemsation he's now the poster child of the willfully ignorant. A global superstar who's not afraid to stand up and declare himself a moron.

I wouldn’t describe it as funny, or interesting. He’s made his stance, and that should be it.
End of.
