Britanska teniserka Heder Votson doputovala je u Melburn 16. januara. Imala je tu nesreću da je u njenom avionu bila jedna zaražena osoba pa se našla među 72 igrača koji ne smeju da napuštaju sobe pune dve nedelje.

One person on the flight I was on from Abu Dhabi tested positive. So now everyone else who was on that flight has a 14 day quarantine where we are NOT allowed out our rooms. The same happened on one of the chartered flights from Los Angeles. 2 flights… so far pic.twitter.com/3JfkjqETwu

To znači da veći deo priprema za turnir zbog koga je i doputovala u Australiju mora da obavi u hotelskoj sobi.

Prvog dana džogirala je sa kraja na kraj sobe. I „istrčala“ pet kilometara.

Dan kasnije, kako je sama napisala, igrala je tenis bez teniskog terena i teniske loptice.

A onda je prešla na vežbe snage – čičnjevi i podizanje fotelje koju ima u sobi.
