“We are going to have six weeks of tennis. In fact, we will have more tennis, more events than ever before. We will start in mid-December when all the players will train,” he said.. “They will do two weeks of quarantine in cities across Australia and those two weeks we will create a bubble in which they can be in it from the hotel to the courts in a training environment, not very different from the AFL and NRL and by then we hope the borders are open, “added Tiley, who said he was encouraged by how tournaments like the US Open and France have been able to proceed in the last month.
