Tennis’ absurd Covid-19 hypocrisy has been brutally exposed by 24 hours of drama ahead of the US Open, with fans given just three days notice to provide proof of vaccination before they can enter the iconic Flushing Meadows precinct in New York.
The year’s final grand slam begins on Tuesday, giving fans just three days notice of a new spectator policy which demands all fans over the age of 12 to provide proof of vaccination before they can enter the iconic Flushing Meadows precinct in New York.
The US Open has gotten serious about the pandemic, but not against the players at the centre of the event. He was on Saturday forced to withdraw from the event after his coach tested positive for Covid-19.

“We have a responsibility as players that are travelling across the world to look out for everyone else as well. I’m happy that I’m vaccinated. I’m hoping that more players choose to have it in the coming months.”
