Despite anger from players now unable to train under strict quarantine.

Basic passive voice

Earlier this weekend, three coronavirus infections were reported on chartered flights carrying dozens of players and their entourages to Melbourne.

In addition to a 14 day hotel quarantine.

Those players arriving in the city will no longer be able to leave their rooms to train.

But other players who arrived before the weekend are permitted to train for five hours a day, raising questions about the integrity of this year's first Grand Slam tournament.

Romanian Sorana Kirsty A, the women's world number 71 tweeted.

If they would have told us this rule before I would not play in Australia, I would have stayed home.

Tiley says tournament organizers will accommodate isolated players the best they can.

 This round opens going ahead and will continue to do the best we can possibly do to ensure those players have what is not a great situation, one that is somewhat acceptable.
