With the new tennis season about to begin, the Australian Open 2021 is going to be the first major played. However, this time players are being made to follow certain protocols because of the coronavirus pandemic which has put the world into a panic due to its adverse effects.

Tennis Australia has invested a lot of effort into ensuring a successful event, not just for the players but for the fans as well. Players have arrived in Melbourne and are undergoing the quarantine process. During this period, players will be made to live in a bubble for 14-days before returning to a normal routine. 

Rafael Nadal to arrive in Adelaide prior to Australian Open 2021

Players such as Rafael Nadal and Stan Wawrinka have already arrived. Rafa has landed in Adelaide ahead of the ‘A Day at the Drive’ event. They’ve posted pictures and clips, providing a glimpse to fans of their current surroundings. In most of the clips, players are seen living in and also working out in their respective suites due to the quarantine protocols. 

Under normal circumstances, players would be seen training at the gym in their hotels rather than in their suites. In another clip, Elina Svitolina can be seen providing fans with a glimpse of her current living quarters. She also posted a short message, which said, “Hello from Melbourne! Thank you Australian Open and everyone who is involved to make this huge effort for events to happen.”
