Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic may face 2021 quarantine

Tennis Australia has confirmed it is drawing up contingency plans for the 2021 Australian Open which could see Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic all forced to quarantine. The worldwide coronavirus pandemic has caused huge disruption to the 2020 season as no events have been played since March. Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley is unsure if players will be allowed to roam free Down Under next January. Therefore, the Big Three could have to spend a fortnight in quarantine before the first Grand Slam of the season. "There is just so much uncertainty as to what is going to happen in the next month, let alone the next eight months," Tiley said. "We have to be prepared for a changed environment. “We hope that, as a community, we are through Covid-19 as quickly and safely as is possible. But we don’t know which of the current measures being used to try and contain the spread of infection will still need to be in place. "We are looking at what we might have to do if players need to be quarantined before being allowed to freely move around Australia. Another example is if mass gatherings are still not allowed or severely restricted. We are looking at the possibility of running an event for broadcast. These are just two scenarios we have to examine." Source: Express
