Jon I just saw that Coco Gauff is out of the Olympics with COVID-19. (I know she is not the only one.) I feel awful for her, but I wonder whether tennis players are being made to get vaccinated. How is this working? Especially with players playing in front of full crowds, how can they not be vaccinated?
