Tennis players who are not vaccinated will be allowed to compete in the Australian Open as long as they undergo quarantine and test negative to COVID-19 before departure, according to a leaked email.

In an email sent to the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) that was obtained by Tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg, Tennis Australia confirmed there were still provisions for unvaccinated players to come to Australia—clearing up recent speculation that tennis players would be unwelcome at the Australian Open.
