The next Corona case occurs at the Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon. 17th-seeded Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut has been forced to withdraw ahead of his second-round match against Colombia’s Daniel Galan.
Bautista Agut, 34, tweeted that he had tested positive for the corona virus. “Luckily the symptoms are not very severe but I think it’s the best decision.”
Former Wimbledon finalists Matteo Berrettini from Italy and Croatia’s Marin Cilic had previously tested positive and were therefore unable to compete in the first round. There are no corona restrictions on the lawn classic and, for example, there is no obligation to wear a mask or to carry out self-tests.
