As many as 72 players are confined to their hotel rooms for two weeks and unable to train for the Feb. 8-21 Grand Slam after passengers on three charter flights tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The world No. 1 said on Wednesday his good intentions had been"misconstrued as being selfish, difficult and ungrateful". The 34-year-old Anderson, who stepped in to lead the ATP Player Council last year after Djokovic stepped down to form a breakaway players body, said comments from disgruntled players were borne of frustration.
Local media reported that world No. 1 Ash Barty apologised after she was seen maskless at a departmental store in Melbourne despite a Victoria state requirement that masks be worn inside indoor shopping centres. "I'm actually surprised to hear that the tennis players are kicking up. We've gotta correct ourselves, there's a lot going on and a lot at risk," McGregor told Channel 10's The Project.
