Bencic third player to test positive after Mubadala World Tennis Championships at Abu Dhabi

Belinda Bencic is the third player to test positive for Covid-19 after recently travelling to play in the Mubadala World Tennis Championships in Abu Dhabi.

Bencic lost to Ons Jabeur who replaced Emma Raducanu who herself tested positive and headed back to the UK to isolate ahead of the Australian Open.

But now the Olympic champion is isolating ahead of heading to Melbourne also with Rafael Nadal also testing positive after heading to the Middle East.

In her statement below, she said that while not ideal, she will head to Australia when possible.
