Tennis Australia (TA) has clarified the organisation is covering quarantine costs for the players and staff after concerns were raised of preferential treatment that implied it was coming from Victorian taxpayers.

The sports governing body released a statement late Wednesday correcting previous comments made by Australia Open Director Craig Tiley on 3AW earlier that morning the Victorian government will “absolutely” help with hotel costs.
