Murray tests positive for Covid-19

Murray, 33, planned to take a chartered flight to Melbourne this week as the five-time Australian Open runner-up received a wildcard for this year's tournament, according to BBC Sport. He is now in quarantine and isolating at home in London.

"Unfortunately this means he will be unable to join the official AO charter flights arriving in Australia in the coming days to go through the quarantine period with the other players. The AO fans love Andy, and we know how much he loves competing here in Melbourne and how hard he'd worked for this opportunity," said the Australian Open in a statement on Thursday. IANS
