Australian Open: Tennis Australia CEO says players must be vaccinated to play in grand slam
CNN
Players will have to be fully vaccinated to participate in the upcoming Australian Open, with Tennis Australia Chief Executive Officer Craig Tiley hopeful that men's world No. 1 Novak Djokovic will be competing.
"It's been made very clear when the Premier announced several weeks ago that in order to participate at the Australian Open, to come into Victoria, you'll need to be fully vaccinated," Tiley told Australian TV station Channel 9's "The Today Show," referring to Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews.
"Immediately, we communicated that to the playing group. It is the one direction that you take that you can ensure everyone's safety," added Tiley as preparations for the first grand slam of the 2022 season get underway in Melbourne.
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
