Andy Murray, a five-time runner-up at the Australian Open, ruled out his participation in the first Grand tournament Slam of the year by noting that it could not meet a feasible quarantine that allows it to compete in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Briton announced his withdrawal from the Australian Open just over a week after reporting that he tested positive for covid-19 while preparing to board a chartered flight to Melbourne.
“Destroyed for sharing that I will not travel to Australia to compete in the Australian Open. We have had constant dialogue with the Australian Tennis Federation to try to find a solution that would allow for some form of feasible quarantine, but we could not solve it, “said Murray.
