Davis Cup to go ahead in Innsbruck despite new Austria lockdown rules
ATPSaturday, 20 November 2021 at 11:00
Austria has been recently exploring a surge in COVID-19 cases which has prompted the government to impose strict new rules.
The rules impose a new lockdown in the coutnry that should last several weeks while all imposing a mandatory vaccination program to be fully enforced by February of next year. The decision for a strict lockdown comes only days before the 2021 Davis Cup was set to take place in the Austrian city of Innsbruck but it won't affect the event.
A spokesperson for Kosmos Tennis, the organizer of the event said:
"The
organisers in Austria are currently meeting with local government to
find out how this may affect COVID-19 restrictions for the event. As it stands now, however, we can confirm that the event will go ahead."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
