There is hardly a week left until the new season starts and tennis players are already packing their bags to go to Australia, where all the tournaments of the month of January will take place.
Melbourne the state that is hosting the Australian Open 2022, has tightened its restrictions due to the pandemic and will not let unvaccinated tennis players play unless they comply with one of the exemptions provided for these cases.
At the moment Pierre Hugues Herbert is one of the few players who have expressed their refusal to be vaccinated and to travel to Australia, but it is expected that in the coming days the list of casualties may be extended.
And it is that there are still a few that remain to be inoculated against the covid. They are, specifically, 5% of the members of the top 100, as revealed this Friday by the executive vice president of the Communication area of the ATP.
Simon Higson refuted the data of a journalist who claimed that only 80% of the 100 best in the world were vaccinated. “This is obsolete. Our latest figures for the top 100 are 95%“he wrote on his twitter account.
