Stefanos Tsitsipas made headlined a month ago when he said he would not take the vaccine if ATP doesn't mandate it however he made a U-turn.
Stefanos Tsitsipas was one of several prominent tennis players that said he would not be getting the COVID-19 vaccine but he changed his mind. The Greek player said a month ago that he believed that young and healthy people are better off catching the virus and building natural immunity than taking a vaccine that hasn't been tested thoroughly.
Speaking to Antenna TV back in Greece Tsitsipas admitted he will get vaccinated later in the year in order to be able to fully enjoy a normal life again. Asked whether he will get vaccinated he said:
“It will certainly happen this year."
Asked whether it was to return to normal life he said "Yes, that is the reason."
He also pulled back on his comments from earlier in the year which were heavily criticized in his native Greece by saying:
“I am not a doctor; I am a tennis player, so I may not have the most substantiated opinion when it comes to medical issues.”
The Greek player is set to return to tennis at the Laver Cup later this week.

- 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".
