Madison Keys has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be playing in Melbourne at the re-arranged Australian Open.

“I’m very disappointed to not be able to play in the coming weeks after training hard in the off-season and knowing Tennis Australia and the tours did so much to make these events happen,” Keys, 25, said in a statement posted to Twitter.

“I am self isolating at home and look to be back on tour next month.”

Players are only allowed to enter Australia after a negative COVID-19 test taken just before departure or with approval to travel as a recovered case.
