The AO Quarantine Crisis | Monday Match Analysis

Controversy has struck the Australian Open, as well over 50 players are affected by positive tests on their charter flights to Australia, resulting in mandated 14-day quarantines in their hotel rooms. Warring perspectives have emerged; some taking the side of disgruntled players and others defending Tennis Australia and the Victorian government, while chiding players for their attitudes. I argue for both sides. The debacle has also exposed the communication issues that exist in tennis. Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Dominic Thiem, Serena Williams, Naoimi Osaka and Simona Halep are quarantining in Adelaide (South Australia), clearly benefitting from favorable conditions. In the DB4 Tennis Stat of the Week, a fascinating WTA trend has emerged at Slams over the last five years. Finally, I react to Hubert Hurkacz's triumph at Delray Beach, and Australian Open qualifiers, including Carlos Alcaraz and Bernard Tomic.
