Training during quarantine essential for Australian Open, says Tiley

The Hindu  

The Australian Open will only go ahead in January if agreement can be reached with local authorities to allow players to practice while they undergo quarantine in Melbourne, tournament director Craig Tiley said on Thursday. READ: Australian Open 2021 planning for bio-bubble and reduced audience Melbourne remains locked down after a second spike in cases of the novel coronavirus and everyone arriving in Australia must currently quarantine for 14 days in a hotel at their own expense. “If a player has to quarantine and be stuck in a hotel for two weeks just before their season, that won't happen,” Tiley told Australian Associated Press. “What we are negotiating, or what we're trying to have an agreement on, is that we set up a quarantine environment where they can train and go between the hotel and the courts in those two weeks.” Tiley has always said that flexible planning via various graded scenarios would be the key to getting the tournament up and running as long as the global health crisis continued.
