Roberto Bautista Agut becomes latest player out of Wimbledon due to COVID-19
ATPThursday, 30 June 2022 at 12:25
Roberto Bautista-Agut has become the latest player to withdraw from this year's Wimbledon due to testing positive for COVID-19.
The Spaniard who was a recent finalist in Mallorca and was 17th seed was due to face Daniel Galan today after starting his campaign against Attila Balazs with a dominant win.
But he will now take no further part and becomes the third in recent days with Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic also testing positive.
It puts Wimbledon under increasing pressure with also comments recalled by Alize Cornet about tennis testing in general with players having a pact at Roland Garros not to test and play on.

- And who, exactly, needs or wants to hear from her?
mandoist21-05-2025 - Don't like her... never liked her. She's a condescending (fill in the blank). That said -- WTA is failing the players by allowing these camera operators to hover over, or next to, players -- especially while physio teams are working on their exposed areas, etc., etc., etc. There should be a safe distance rule. Also: let's not forget it was the cameras taking closeups across the court and literally resulting in revealing "upskirt" views (hence the ladies now place a towel between their legs at the bench). This is not a hard choice!mandoist21-05-2025
- Great speech from Sinner! His mother smiling at the joke was top.MrAndreeva18-05-2025
- She should "train a bit more"mandoist16-05-2025
- That would have hurt!! Another cool moment was a sky-high lob when Qinwen shot the ball (mistakenly) straight-up and came within a foot or so of the overhead drone. BTW: Been watching these damn drones at sporting events -- a major accident waiting to happen in crowded venues like tennis courts. Not to mention they are super distracting.mandoist16-05-2025

AceOfBase15-05-2025 - Diana Shnaider let the fans get under her skin. Once they noticed, they took full advantage — and she completely lost her composure, along with her tennis.MrAndreeva13-05-2025
- Or perhaps in desperate need of WTA points, her agent picked up the ☎️. The Strasbourg director probably choked on his coffee from sheer delight.MrAndreeva12-05-2025
