The coronavirus has been the most talked-about issue over the past 10 months or so. The effects of this virus are severe and life-threatening. Citing these issues ahead of the Australian Open, Johanna Konta said, “I think Tennis Australia is trying incredibly hard to make this work well for the players and everyone involved. I do feel for them. It’s very much out of their hands. It’s a government decision.”
Konta is trying to remain optimistic and hopes to see the 2021 Australian Open conducted smoothly. She went on and added, “If we can just play the tournaments in the weeks that they are set in, then that is already a big win. Our first tournament of 2021 is originally scheduled for 4 January, so arriving at the end of December is not too dissimilar to what it would be in a normal year.”
