Five ‘bubbles’, 400,000 fans and full prizemoney at 2021 Australian Open – The Age
The 2021 Australian Open could be moved to later in the year due to COVID-19 but tournament director Craig Tiley says organisers are confident of hosting the grand slam in its usual January slot with full prizemoney and fans in the stands.
“When the players arrive, our expectation is they’re not going to be in a hotel for 14 days like the current requirements are. We’ll have an exemption within this bio-secure bubble.
“We’ve said every year that we’re the ‘happy slam’. But now we’re saying we’re the ‘very safe and happy slam.'”
TA’s crisis management team, set up because of the bushfire smoke that threatened this year’s tournament, has put a business and operational plan in place for each of the scenarios they came up with.
