Whether or not unvaccinated players will be allowed to play the 2022 Australian Open has been a hot topic for weeks. The latest news is that only those protected by the COVID-19 vaccine will be allowed to enter the tournament.
A month ago, a leaked email sent to WTA players revealed that unvaccinated players might still be able to compete at the Grand Slam. A few days later, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Victoria state’s Premier Daniel Andrews expressed opposing views concerning the COVID-19 vaccination issue.
The latest information comes from CEO of Tennis Australia Craig Tiley, who confirms that only vaccinated players will be allowed in the draws.
