Andy Murray still dreams of playing in Melbourne

The three-time Major champion and five-time Australian Open runner-up Andy Murray is still hoping for some positive news from Melbourne following his coronavirus isolation that is now behind him.

After testing positive for the coronavirus, Murray spent two weeks in isolation. He should be back on the practice court, waiting for the Australian Open organizers' decision about his possible Melbourne trip.

Andy received the main draw wild card but had tested positive just before the Aussie trip, changing his plans and staying at home in England. Murray is the most successful player in Melbourne without winning the title, losing no less than five titles matches to Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in seven years.

"He's doing ok; I think he gets out from isolation. He can resume some training, and then it's a question of waiting and seeing whether he can fly out to Australia and take part; nobody knows the answer to that one yet. The only person out there that I'm talking to is Jamie, one of the fortunate ones on a clear flight, which means he is allowed out of his hotel room for five hours a day.

He gets a knock on the door at 6:30 am. He can walk across to the courts, practice for a couple of hours, do 90 minutes of the gym and 60 minutes of food. He then walks back to the hotel, and he is back at the room at 11:30 am, and that is him in for the rest of the day," Judy Murray said.
