Wimbledon 2022: Roberto Bautista Agut withdraws from tournament after testing positive for COVID-19

Firstpost  

“Today I have notified @Wimbledon of my withdrawal. Spanish 17th seed Roberto Bautista Agut on Thursday became the third player to withdraw from this year’s Wimbledon with Covid-19 in a fresh blow for the tournament, which has returned to full capacity this year. “At the end of the day if you have got a bit of a cold, you play main draw of Wimbledon for £50,000 and a chance of more,” said British player Liam Broady. “I’m not sure some of the lower-ranked guys are going to Scout’s honour take themselves away and do a Covid test.” Rafael Nadal had practised with Berrettini at the All England Club last week but said on Tuesday after his opening match that he was “feeling great”. “Now if you tell me even if you are positive, you can keep playing, this is something I didn’t know,” said the two-time Wimbledon champion.
