Top tennis stars and their stance on getting vaccinated – Cori Gauff, Nadal, Serena, Barty & Naomi in focus.
Cori Gauff and Rafael Nadal are very clear about their views on the vaccine: they would like to be vaccinated when it’s feasible.
The American teenager had a Q&A style interview on Instagram and when asked about if she wants to be vaccinated, she answered that she has all the plans to get a shot saying “I believe in science.”
Rafael Nadal also voiced his readiness to get a vaccine.
The King of Clay was especially discouraged, notably during the initial part of the pandemic, and he believes that everything has to be done to halt this dreadful virus.
During a latest press conference in Monte Carlo, the world number 3 remarked:
“Vaccine is the only answer to go beyond the pandemic. We need to understand that. I know a few people have side effects, but the coronavirus effects are fatal. I will get my jab as soon as I can.”
Serena Williams has been known to have full faith in science and vaccinations.
In October 2009 the world followed her while she visited Ghana, where she joined health workers and volunteers giving children vaccines against measles and other diseases. One can very well image his positive mindset towards the Coronavirus vaccination!
Andy Murray went on record, as early as November 2020, to state his opinion on the vaccination. He said then that it should be made mandatory for players to be vaccinated before participating in any tennis tournaments.
On 31st March 2021, both the top seeds Ash Barty and Naomi Osaka threw their support behind receiving the vaccine when they are eligible.
While many players have full faith in science some other high profile tennis players are got different views.
Novak Djokovic is not known to be a fan of vaccines. Having said that and despite his opinion many believe that he will make an exception in the case of the ongoing pandemic.
Many other younger and high profile players such as Andrey Rublev, Diego Schwartzman, Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka didn’t sound as keen as Coco Gauff and Rafael Nadal and others to get vaccinated.
As of now, both the ATP and the WTA tours are just urging their players to be vaccinated if they can.
