Australia’s travel bubble: Kerber in quarantine, Zverev hopeful
Since the worldwide Corona-Pandemie has erupted, hardly a country has so successful in dealing with the virus beaten like Australia. The country’s strict isolation measures make it possible Spectators in the stadium, however, have serious consequences for some of the athletes in their preparation.
A person infected with COVID-19 was sitting on a plane, why Angelique Kerber and other professionals had to spend two weeks in isolation in their hotel room. For the Germans this was obviously a disadvantage. Kerber lost to Bernada Pera in just 1:12 hours with 0: 6, 4: 6 in the first round.
Overall were 72 participants in the first Grand Slam in 2021 affected by this situation. Kerber summarized the situation soberly: “The requirements in the two groups are very different. Some can train for up to five hours a day, others are defeated strict quarantine rules. I accepted it and try to make the best of the situation. “Even without the quarantine period, Angelique Kerber is one of the underdogs for the title – unlike Ashleigh Barty, Sofia Kenin or Serena Williams.
Hope rests with the German men Alexander Zverev. The 23-year-old was against the last hard court major, the US Open last September Austrian Dominik Thiem only two points away from his first Grand Slam win, but lost in five sets in the end. He still thinks of that “every day” and therefore proves his greatest critics right for the time being: “I didn’t win the final. I have to be better next time.”
In the first round in 2021, Zverev only made it slightly better. He won against Marcos Giron in four sets after a tough fight and almost three hours of play. In the second round, however, Zverev was able to win against the high-serving Maxime Cressy in three sets.
