The Australian Open 2021 is about to begin in a month under some serious restrictions and protocols. Recently, Tennis Australia announced that there will be two different bubbles at the Grand Slam for the players. This move has received a certain amount of criticism from the World No.1 Novak Djokovic.
All the players will have to follow a 14-day quarantine period as per the guidelines of the management. However, there are some things that are different for different players. While the top three male and female players will have a quarantine in Adelaide, other players will do the same in Melbourne only.
Novak Djokovic seemed quite unhappy with his formula of different quarantine for different players. The management said that it had done so because all the top three players, including Serena Williams, would have to attend an exhibition in Adelaide on January 29.

On the other hand, Djokovic will land in Melbourne in order to defend his title. The Serbian will surely want to win his 9th Australian Open title which will also ensure that he’ll stay number till March 2021. If he manages to do so, he’ll not only lift his 18th Grand Slam title but will also beat Roger Federer’s record of staying the World No.1 for the most weeks.
