Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa has described her time in hotel quarantine as the worst experience of her career, saying she felt “abandoned” by Australian Open organisers.

Badosa, ranked 67th in the world, was the first player to test positive for coronavirus upon arriving in Australia ahead of the tournament and she has been in quarantine in Melbourne along with about 70 other players.
