Tennis: Vallverdu issues warning ahead of Aussie Open

Renowned tennis coach DANIEL VALLVERDU has warned that  Players will skip the Australian Open if they are not allowed to train during their mandatory two-week quarantine due to the risk of injury.

Tennis Australia remain in talks with the Victoria state government over the Covid-19 protocols to be established for those arriving ahead of the Grand Slam at Melbourne Park, which is scheduled for January 18-31, 2020

State officials have confirmed players will have to undergo quarantine and that the tournament will likely start one or two weeks later than scheduled.

However, VALLVERDU believes the only way top tennis stars will attend the first grand-slam of the year is if they are allowed to practice during the two weeks of quarantine.
