Back in action, possibly still with breaks. To keep things manageable, I'm no longer going to post losses below Tour level or routine early round ITF 25/15 wins except big upset/career best wins and other wins or losses that seem particularly significant, if I notice them. (1/2)

If he got the positive result on the evening of the 16th and was still attending events (at all, let alone maskless) in the couple of days after that, that seems like very strong evidence that he's a reckless danger to health - are his fans still going to support him now?
