Carlos Bernardes is one of the most renowned referees on the ATP tour. In Melbourne, the Brazilian has to stay in harsh quarantine for 14 days because a person tested positive for the COVID-19 virus on his flight to Australia. A colleague of Carlos Bernardes, the Brazilian official Ricardo Reis, told Tenis Brasil: "He had a heart attack in the morning. We are in the same hotel. When the ambulance arrived, I even sent him a photo with the news that someone was not doing well. And he said, 'I was the one who called. I have chest pain. " Reis communicated with Bernardes the day after. Bottom line: he's fine.
