Australian Open organisers say players were made aware of the fact they could spend 14 days in hard lockdown if they were found to be a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case | scottspits

Tiley said there was "certainly an advantage" for those players who are able to utilise a five-hour training block during mandatory quarantine. Tennis Australia is in talks with tennis tours about tinkering with the plans for the five tournaments – including the ATP Cup – that will run concurrently at Melbourne Park in the week before the Open.

"What we need to do is that by the time they come out until the time they play is try and elongate that time as long as possible, and then provide the right schedule to that group," Tiley said.Tennis players in quarantine at the View Melbourne hotel were allowed out to train on Tuesday."It’s not going to involve the cancellation or moving the Australian Open – the date is still February 8. That’s not going to change.

scottspits Are we all angry enough yet? Have we seen enough job losses, businesses go bust, patients go untreated, children going hungry and left without hope for the future, millions in poverty around the world, increased debt, needless and preventable non covid deaths? EnoughIsEnough

scottspits If it's too hard...get a real job. Self entitlement isn't a good trait. Ask the majority of the world.

scottspits Was it possible for prospective players to travel to Australia not long after the previous season ended? That would had been the full proof way to avoid any 14 day quarantine. Barring the personal sacrifices of spending time with family.

scottspits These players thought to be a close contact was they went to bed with them. Dummest collective out there.

scottspits The Australian open is not going to go on mark my words

scottspits They can always leave.
