Novak started this year with 20 major tennis titles tied with Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal for most ever. The Covid nazis in Australia kept him from competing in their open, the first major of the year, because he wasn’t vaccinated because he had gotten and recovered from Covid and didn’t want the jab because he had natural immunity which we now know is better than the jab and the jab is potentially dangerous. It was sad given that he was the king of the Australian Open and could have broken the tie. Instead Nadal won and moved on to the French Open where Novak got to compete but once again Nadal won because he is undoubtedly the greatest clay court player of all time. I believe this was his 14th French Open title!
And then things moved on to Wimbledon which Novak was allowed to compete in and won today for the 7th time moving him one short of Nadal in the overall majors race and I believe that Novak is the greatest of all time in tennis.
And then I learned that he may not be able to compete in the US Open because we don’t allow unvaccinated people from other countries to come in, UNLESS THEY’RE ILLEGAL. Given that the actual science is clear and vaccinated people are now much more likely to get and spread the virus and suffer long term consequences, this is ridiculous and needs to be changed immediately. At least allow people with natural immunity and who test negative before and after entry to enter the country. My hope is that because Novak will be a high profile case that will get lots of attention, the idiots in charge find a single brain cell and make a change for everyone or at least not interfere with a quest for the greatest of all time. Novak would be an almost prohibitive favorite!
