The US Open champion was slated to face Belinda Bencic in Abu Dhabi this week, but she tested positive for COVID-19 and therefore won't compete in the exhibition event. Set to make her Australian Open debut on January 17, she is nearing the end of her 10-day quarantine and is eager to get back onto the practice court as soon as possible.
