After the news released earlier today regarding Novak Djokovic and the World No.1 getting a medical exemption to play at the Australian Open, the same can't be said for Tennys Sandgren.
Sandgren is a former two-time Quarter-Finalist in Australia but has decided not to travel due to the requirement to be vaccinated to play.
Prominent tennis journalist, Ben Rothenberg reported the news and said he spoke to the American who said he didn't try to apply for a medical exemption due to not meeting any criteria.
This was backed up by Tommy Paul tagging him in a Tennis TV Instagram post about Djokovic asking if he was coming too and Sandgren replied saying 'not quite the same pull'.

- 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".
