Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev has announced that he is positive for Covid-19 and that he is already in isolation. “I’m currently in Barcelona and unfortunately I tested positive – wrote the 24-year-old, fifth in the ATP ranking on Twitter -. I put myself in solitary confinement and comply with all protocols under the supervision of doctors. I am vaccinated and preparing for the Atp Cup and the Australian Open. Now I need to recover and I will only go to Melbourne when it is safe for everyone. ‘ Rublev participated in the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament, among other things won, together with Rafa Nadal and Canadian Shapovalov, both currently positive. For them, participation in the ATP Cup, starting on January 1st, is now out of the question, but the first major of the season, which begins on January 17th, is also at risk.
