With Madison Keys, a top female player will now also be missing in Melbourne. She had tested positive for COVID-19 before her flight to Australia, wrote ex-US Open finalist Keys on Twitter. She was very disappointed not to be able to play for the next few weeks, "after training hard in the off-season and I know that Tennis Australia and the tours have done so much to make these events happen".
You will now isolate yourself and take the necessary measures.
Davidovich Fokina is also absent from Melbourne
The Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina also tested positive for COVID-19 a few days ago, whether it will work for him with an Australian Open appearance seems unclear. His alternative plan is apparently the Challenger tournament in Quimper, France (February 1 to 7), as reported by the website puntodebreak.com .
It was announced on Thursday that Andy Murray had also tested positive for the corona virus and was therefore not on the plane to Melbourne. He hoped to be allowed to travel after at a later date, it said further .
Actually, all tennis stars had to be on 15./16. Arrived in Melbourne on January 1st to go into a 14-day quarantine . How in the case of the five-time Australian Open finalist Murray will be proceeded, should he recover quickly, seems still open.
