Verdasco, among the first casualties for Australia

One of the fears that the Australian Open organization suffered was that a good number of tennis players would be deleted from the event due to the strict quarantine to be fulfilled. Despite having this problem partially solved thanks to the ATP calendar, the first casualties arrive at the Grand Slam. One of them is that of the Spanish Fernando Verdasco.

In the entry list published by the tournament, in which the 104 best classified in the ATP ranking that will attend the event appear, The absence of Verdasco, number 65 in the world, is striking. It is also not present Philipp Kohlschreiber, number 98. None of them have commented on the matter so far.

Fernando Verdasco achieved his best Grand Slam result at the Australian Open 2009, falling against Rafa Nadal in an agonizing semifinal match. The Madrilenian already missed the past Roland Garros after a false positive for coronavirus, and even announced that he had in mind to sue the French tournament.
