I have just come back from the other side of the pond, had to transit New York on way back on Saturday night. Have to say, they are the only ones I can recall asking for vaccine proof now and it seems to me that ship has sailed. Im not sure really now why it is a requirement any longer? My vaccine was the 4th one we all were asked to take from October and Im not sure it helps anyone that I have it any longer?

I was adamant Djokovic shouldnt get into AO last year, we obviously allowed him to play Wimbledon etc and it feels to me the USA needs to move forwards on this one. Dont see the reason to ban him from entry other than the law is what it is (and the law shouldnt be changed for one person) but in this case the law is out of date.

Not a Djokovic fan but this time the law is wrong and out of date .

The US covid requirements expire in May.

In NZ, we've only just gotten the newer vaccine (literally, they were available from the 1st March) for the more recent strains and it's open to adults over 30.

You're not doing to badly - London has only had the newer vaccine as of January or so.

Certainly in November, when I was called for the fourth, it was the old, original one, to which I said why bother? I think, as of 2023, the new bivalent one is finally available.

It may be out of date but that is the rule and Djokovic should not get special treatment just because he can play tennis well.

i was in LA in January and neither you on your recent trip or I would have been allowed in without the vaccine certificate. So he has to face the consequences of the decisions he has made.

I wrote it clumsily but I think I wrote that I agree - they shouldnt change the law for one man or let him get around the law, but the law is wrong at this time ie the us is out of touch and shouldnt be banning people at this stage at all For not having the vaccine. IMO - just like the UK or Mainland Europe now, at least I believe.

The Brits collide- Evo has a bye but then plays the winner of Jack or a qualifier. In round three, the winner of that plays Andy , if he gets through Etcheverry (recent Santiago finalist on clay) or PCB.

Cam has an opener against Bublik or a qualifier. Berrettini is the first high seed he could face.

Is this a hybrid version of Roberto Carballes and Pablo Carreño ? wink

Something like that! Now corrected. It was late...

P.S. Had it been t'other, I'd at least have remembered to put in the accent (Carballés). wink

I did in fact look that up on the ATP site and they had no accent. Also, when I hear his name announced, it is usually CarbAlles and not CarballEs, but having checked on Spanish wikipedia, it does appear that you are correct.

I mean, how could I ever doubt you LOL.

Bob, I'm always open to correction, but never on the basis of anything shown on the ATP site: it simply does not "do" accents (& you know how I love those)! wink It thinks, for example, that Sean Hodkin comes from "Warsall"....

Apologies I didnt mean to jump at you! I have just been a bit fed up with some of the press coverage suggesting he has been hard done to in some way. Tommy Haas quote saying it was a disgrace had just about finished me off!! Ranting over!
