Conchita Martínez, isolated in Doha after testing positive for COVID

Conchita Martínez, Garbiñe Muguruza's coach, remains isolated in a medicalized hotel in Doha (Qatar) after testing positive for coronavirus. “I feel fine, with mild symptoms and in a couple of days they will repeat the test,” reported the 48-year-old former Wimbledon champion.

Conchita traveled from Spain on Wednesday with a negative PCR, but upon landing in Doha she tested positive. “I am hopeful that soon I will be able to continue with this tour of the Middle East. For now, I will develop my functions by videoconference with Garbiñe,” he said. The player arrived on a different flight, they did not maintain contact, her test was negative and she should not isolate herself.

Muguruza, who in Australia lost in the round of 16 to champion Naomi Osaka, will participate next week in the WTA 500 in Doha (Her first rival will be the Russian Veronika Kudermetova) and the next in the 1,000 of Dubai.
