LONDON: Andy Murray's participation in the Australian Open has been thrown into doubt after it was revealed on Thursday he had tested positive for coronavirus.
"Andy Murray has advised that he has tested positive to COVID-19 and is isolating at home in the UK," they tweeted. Murray, who has slumped to 123rd in the world rankings, was handed a wildcard for the Australian Open which starts on Feb 8, three weeks later than normal. More than 1,200 players and support staff are arriving in Australia from Thursday for 14 days' quarantine.
In another blow, American world number 16 and former US Open runner-up Madison Keys said she too had tested positive for COVID-19. Nadal is aiming to clinch a 21st major title in Melbourne, which would put him ahead of Roger Federer's 20 as the most successful men's player of all time.
