Vaccine power serve at the US Tennis Open

There was kind of a fun story in the NYTimes today about the US Tennis Open. It seems tennis officials had no plans to require vaccines or Covid tests from spectators. When Mayor De Blasio found out he was a tad upset. After some discussion he told the tennis mavens: Do what you want but if it rains the roof on the stadium is staying open!
Apparently the tennis mavens thought about what a long rain delay would do to their tv schedule and are now requiring proof of full vaccination.
Point, Set and Match to the Mayor!
