Johanna Konta has maintained a skeptical stance on vaccination for Covid-19 in a topic which has dominated as of late with travel and other parts of tour life potentially dictated by this.
Konta, the current British No.1 said two weeks ago that while she wasn't against the idea, she will make a personal choice as and when so is yet to make a decision.
This was confounded by Andy Murray who believed that all players should be jabbed as a responsibility to look out for each other.
"I don't know. I'm not too sure," said Konta ahead of the US Open.
"This is a tricky thing to talk about because it's a very inflammatory subject and there's no real right answer. I don't want to talk about it because I wouldn't be able to get my point across without it being a case for argument."
This is all after Konta caught Covid-19 herself and had to miss the Olympic Games and initially Wimbledon after being a close contact.
"There was nothing good about getting Covid and nothing good about getting it when I got it. I was reasonably ill and it was challenging. We had to be quite sensible when we came back and started training again."
"I was sleeping or just existing for a few days. Other than that, I didn't really want to watch it. I didn't feel like it. I had to work through my own feelings of injustice of 'why now?' I just needed a bit of space and a bit of licking my wounds."
