Machine translations are terrible. That is my guess too.

Yes, that's what it says.

Some translations are better than others. I've found Instagram's to be superior to Twitter's more often than not.

In terms of the information - these dates are crazy yet again. It's such a long commitment and they are restricting their movement for a 2 week quarantine again according to reports going full bubble mode, with only minor changes basically. For fully vaccinated players. It's like time has stood still in Australia.

I'm super on the side of caution with this stuff and even I think they're being silly, especially since they're presumably being tested in the UAE as well. Quarantine them until 2 PCRs come back negative, then let them leave the hotel but require continued testing.

If it keeps Djokovic at 20 for the most poetic reason possible, I'm fine with it.

I don't care if he gets 21 - don't care who ends up with the most Slams. But really hope they all tie at 20, and this particular plot twist would be so apropos.

I was hoping he'd get the Grand Slam, but now that that run is over I want to see new players win majors.

I hope they aren't doing both a vaccine mandate AND 2-week quarantine upon arrival. Overkill. I could see maybe a negative text upon arrival.

I would like to open this thread and read that players won't have a 14-day quarantine. I'll take any change that makes me think Australia knows it's not December 2020 with almost no one vaccinated. Even if it's just down to 7 or 10 day quarantine, but something different.

Oh but they are. It's what they are doing with vaccinated Aussies returning right now, and why you read that story about Nick and his girlfriend during quarantine. So it would have to be a change to the status quo, and it couldn't just be an Aussie rule, it needs to be a Victorian rule, as they have had stricter measures than the rest of the country throughout the pandemic.

3-day quarantine for vaccinated players and two negative PCR tests over 24 hours apart (most sports leagues employ this testing method) unless an individual is showing symptoms should be more than enough.

Djokovic non-committal about Australia in recent article with that same reporter where he laid out the rest of his schedule for the year. He's concerned about the quarantine period and doesn't share his vaccination status (which always means one thing and I'm not sure why they even bother avoiding a no).
