Chaos is breaking loose. Originally, there was some discontent among players for the fact that a small group of top players had the opportunity of enjoying a “sweeter” quarantine in Adelaide while most of their peers had to face harder conditions in Melbourne. Things got much worse after 47 players now in Victoria had the nasty news that they have to observe full quarantine for 2 weeks without the opportunity of leaving their room.
Apparently, the discontent has been growing stronger and stronger, and it was reported by well-known Italian journalist Luca Fiorino that some players even tried to break out of their room in Melbourne. At the next attempt, they will be expelled from Australia. A guardian was placed on each floor to check on the players.

Naomi Osaka’s tweet
Japanese sensation Naomi Osaka was genuinely happy to start her training in Adelaide to post a lovely video with her team. However, that tweet was promptly canceled as according to the journalist, some players were unhappy to see some of their colleagues having a much easier experience somewhere else. Of course, there was nothing wrong with Naomi, but stress is mounting…
A revolt broke out.
The players are not very happy for the unequal treatment in relation to big players in Adelaide.
