"I have all the symptoms": Tomic in self-isolation in Miami

Bernard Tomic says he has placed himself in self-isolation upon becoming ill in Miami, and suggests he may have coronavirus.

The Australian, who is ranked No. 200, played in Monterrey, Mexico, two weeks ago—the final event before the ATP Tour suspended competition for six weeks because of coronavirus concerns.

Tomic returned to Miami the following week.

"Since Tuesday, started feeling not right," he told the Melbourne Herald Sun. "I’m yet to be tested for it but I have all the symptoms. I reckon I got it traveling from Mexico to Monterrey... I’m currently in Miami and isolated away from everyone, as advised."

Tomic joins Yaroslava Shvedova, who had been placed under government quarantine in Kazakstan when a passenger on her flight there tested positive for the virus. The Kazakh has since announced she has been tested and was not positive, but is still required to complete her quarantine.

By contrast, No. 149 Yannick Maden had problems leaving the renamed capital city of Kazakstan, Nur-Sultan, where he was playing a Challenger event. While warming up for his first round encounter, the German learned that he could be stuck there unless he left that day.

"We're at the airport for our 4.30 p.m. flight when I heard from some Austrian guy that, for sure, we would have been put in quarantine from midnight," Maden told the Guardian.

All tour events have been suspended for the next six weeks due to the virus. Government restrictions on movement have also been implemented in several tournament locations.
