Vaccinated players are not guaranteed entry into tournaments in Australia, they also need a negative COVID-19 test. Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is fully vaccinated, but her participation at the Australian Open is now in question because of a positive coronavirus test.
The 30-year-old Pavlyuchenkova arrived in Australia on Tuesday and because of an unexpected COVID-19 test result she’s in absolute lockdown:
I was fully vaccinated and was preparing for the start of the season in Dubai. But we live in a very difficult and unpredictable time. Right now I am in a complete isolation, in a special hotel and following all the protocols under the supervision of doctors.
