No. The rules are incompatible with people that refuse vaccination being entered into international sporting events on Australian soil.
This doesn't appear to be a big loss or problem as the ITF has fully supported the Australian Open.
If players wish to remain unvaccinated they are self-excluding themselves from international events - that is their choice. No one is forcing them to attend just as no one is forcing them to be vaccinated.
- thriftwy 5y agoIf he had a confirmed case of COVID recently, I can't see why he would need to vaccinate on top of that. The common sense is that he doesn't. You are advocating self-medication.

Australia only allows unvaccinated travelers that -can't- be vaccinated for medical reasons. Not wanting to be vaccinated or not "needing" to be vaccinated are not the same thing as -can't-. No proof that vaccine will be harmful to your health == vaccine required for entry. Very simple.
- thriftwy 5y agoThe problem here is the conflict of interest. World No. 1 tennis player does not consider entry to Australia a privilege, worthy of taking a medical procedure which he does not have to perform otherwise. Australia does not want to take many people in, and many people do not desire to enter Australia. But that ruins the idea of tournament. Which is based on assumption of admission on liberal terms.
