Canadian Denis Shapovalov is the first international tennis star this summer to test positive for Covid-19 after arriving in Australia, following a warning from Australian Open boss Craig Tiley that there would be cases in the lead up to the tournament.
News Corp reported on Thursday that world No.14 Shapovalov was among the first players to enter the country ahead of his planned involvement in the ATP Cup in Sydney.
“I am following all protocols, including isolation and letting the people who I’ve been in contact with know. “We are dealing with a variant that is challenging because it‘s highly infectious,” Tiley said this week.
