Thanks for update. Never saw anywhere that can’t come if not Canadian citizen. But wouldn’t want to come anyway now that I read about the restrictions. The joy of going to a tournament in person is seeing several matches, going from court to court. To sit in a stadium to see two of three matches not of my choosing is no fun. In 2014, I saw a lot lot top players, especially in doubles, on the outside courts.
I’ll probably go to San Jose for a smaller tournament field but with no restrictions (as far as I read) so I will see more there.
I am the voice of the fan.
This has been true since …. the very beginning of the pandemic.
So you must not have been looking too hard.
Travel has been restricted for Americans to … most places over the last 16 months. In case you hadn’t seen it.
(There’s a pandemic going on. Did you see anything about that?)
Thank you for your report on WTA officially cancels 2021 fall Asian swing. Saw nothing about this on tennis.com. You’d think it would be a big enough story to warrant coverage there. That is why I visit this site.
I was planning to attend the National Bank Open in Montreal. I enjoyed my experience seven years ago there. Love to come to a city with a good public transportation system, not like here in Los Angeles. Anyway, last I read here no decision has been made. Makes it difficult to do travel plans if have to wait to the last minute to do that. Any idea when a decision will be made. I am surprised there is consideration of not having fans when tonite I see stadium for the Major League Baseball All Star game in Denver filled and same with final rounds of Wimbledon. Are the citizens failing to get vaccinated in Montreal?
Unless you’re a Canadian citizen or someone with a compelling reason to come (not a vacation), you can’t get in.
