A further 25 Australian Open players have been forced into quarantine on arrival in the country ahead of the season’s first tennis major, bringing the total number of competitors now isolating in hotel rooms to 72.
The Australian Open may still be just over four weeks away, but the tournament has already produced its best story.
Following Part 1, here is Part 2 of my look back on the greatest Australian Open moments in recent history.
Last week, I challenged Roar readers to nominate the events that are on their sporting bucket lists.
The currently silent and vacant sporting landscape has brought on much reflection. Many Australian competitions appear likely to go to ruin in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and concerns around what our sporting face will look like in a few months are genuine.
Narrowing down millions of amazing Australian sporting moments into a concise and tight top ten was a daunting task. In doing so, setting criteria was important.
Australia’s chief medical officer, Brendan Murphy, has advised Australia’s State and Federal governments to ban public gatherings of more than 500 people due to the coronavirus pandemic, leaving the immediate future of the country’s sporting competitions in grave doubt.
The Australian Open has come a long way, from top players not even bothering to turn up for it several decades ago to it jostling for the position of the best attended grand slam.
Novak Djokovic has secured an eighth Australian Open crown and a 17th Grand Slam title – and this might be his most famous.

In what was his historic 100th appearance at Roland Garros in Paris on late Tuesday evening, the defending and 12-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal outclassed his young and talented opponent Jannik Sinner 7-6(4), 6-4, 6-1 in just under three hours in their quarter-final clash to advance into his 13th semi-final on the Parisian clay.
We are one step closer to crowning the 2020 French Open men’s and women’s champions, and while it’s no surprise to see Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the final four of the men’s competition, a new female champion at Roland Garros is imminent.
Tennis player Alexander Zverev has been slammed by Nick Kyrgios after footage emerged of him partying after he promised to self isolate for 14 days after competing at a recent tennis event organised by Novak Djokovic which was plagued by positive COVID-19 tests.
That hand-eye coordination is next level!
Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios showed how tech-savvy he is by instantly booking Andy Murray a haircut.
There’s not usually much coverage of the Challenger Tennis tour, but this match has gone viral due to a very unusual event. Players Frances Tiafoe and Mitchell Krueger were distracted by some strange noises.
