More than a week has passed since tennis players went in quarantine at the Australian Open 2021 bubble, and they’re probably feeling on edge sitting in their hotel rooms. Recently, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic revealed what he would do first after the quarantine ends.
Presently, the 17-time Grand Slam champion is in Adelaide, in an exclusive bubble for the Top 3 players. Compared to players in the Melbourne bubble, the facilities are an advantage for them.
However, spending most of the day locked inside a room is not an easy task. Accordingly, when an interviewer asked Novak Djokovic whether he wanted anything, he responded, “Yes, freedom.”

Novak Djokovic misses being free in the quarantine in Australia
Being professional athletes, tennis players are used to extensive training and the outside heat. But in quarantine, they are allowed only a 5-hour session outside their rooms.

“The first thing I am gonna do on Friday morning, I am just gonna run straight to this park. I am just gonna spend an hour there, that’s what I am gonna do,” Djokovic said.
On the other side, the 8-time Australian Open champion is also enjoying his quarantine time. From locals to fans from his country, people are visiting him outside his hotel room.
But the balcony is as far as he can go, and so he misses being out there in the open. “I miss it; I miss being free, being able to walk around,” the Serbian said. “And I haven’t been to Adelaide in many years, so if I get a chance, I’ll probably go around.”
