Unvaccinated players unlikely to receive "special deals" that allow them to compete at Australian Open

The chances of competing at next year's Australian Open have become even slimmer if you are unvaccinated, as players who refuse to get the shot will not be given any rumored "special deals" that will allow them to participate at the first Grand Slam of the season.
Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews said he opposed special arrangements to permit unvaccinated players to compete in the state, which is set to host the Australian Open in January 2022.
“On the question of vaccination, no,” said Andrews.
World No.1 Novak Djokovic is one of several players who has refused to reveal his vaccination status, and has openly stated that he is unsure if he would defend his title should there be restrictions for the event.

- 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".
