Melbourne (AP) – Tennis veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber also relies on reason in the fight against corona cases at the Australian Open.
“You have to appeal to people’s honesty, that when someone feels bad, that they isolate themselves really hard or give tests,” said the 38-year-old from Augsburg in Melbourne after his second-round loss to Spaniard Roberto Bautista good.
He thinks the test rules used are ok, said Kohlschreiber. According to the organizer, the Corona security strategy includes, among other things, that everyone had to do a PCR test upon arrival.
Hamburger Alexander Zverev had previously stated that more players could be positive than previously thought. “We will not be tested. I think if we were tested, there would probably be more positives than there are now,” said the third in the world rankings.
He himself is very withdrawn because of his goal of winning the first Grand Slam tournament. “I think there will be a lot more cases in Australia this year than last year,” said the Olympic champion: “We can go outside to eat, we can do what we want. That’s why I think it’s natural that more people get Covid.”
