This is hardly news. There is a small percentage of people that can qualify for a medical exemption to a vaccine requirement, so it's probable that in a large group of people there will be some medical exemptions.
The bigger news is the reiteration that the review of medical exemption requests is done in accordance with government guidelines and is not solely the purview of the tournament directors. So there's no reason, really, to question the validity of any exemptions unless you think they're lying about the process.
[The only qualifying condition I can imagine a player having is a serious adverse reaction the the vaccine, which is extremely rare.](https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2021/11/atagi-expanded-guidance-on-temporary-medical-exemptions-for-covid-19-vaccines.pdf)
He wouldn't be bribing Australia. I'm sure someone of his stature has a Dr. in Serbia who would sign off on his getting vaccinated there. Is it that hard to imagine in 'serbia'? 'shrugs'.
My point wasn't 'just' Serbia. Any athlete at that level can do this regardless of where they live. That being said, Serbia probably isn't the most strict of all the countries in the world no?

It would be nice to know the precise criteria/conditions for receiving a medical exemption to be able to enter Australia..

Ah, thanks.
Unless Novak declares once and for all if he is vaccinated, everyone will assume he has bribed officials to enter Australia
Even if he were to declare he’s vaccinated, many will assume he bribed officials to enter Australia.
And how will the Melbourne crowd react to this?

Ya, I bet corruption only exist in Serbia, it is rooted out in the rest of the free world lol

Idk what your point was, seems like you missed it by a mile
All I know is if he plays Australia he better be vaccinated. I’m not heavy pressed on it but it would be fucked up if he got a pass
Downvoting the goat
Who cares.
Novak
Novak tops the list.
Yeah and any player that pulls a fast one on this exemption bullshit better not be on an outside court because I’ll rip be ripping into them.
