At the Australian Open this year, players were forced to live in a bubble. However, Matteo and Ajla couldn’t meet each other during those two weeks, despite living in the same hotel because, upon arriving in Australia, it was mandatory to undergo the 14-day quarantine period.

At the moment, both Matteo and Ajla are going strong in their careers and are at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. They have sailed through their initial couple of rounds and are scheduled to play their third match tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how far these talented athletes can go at South West 19, London.
