Korbel recovered from covid-19 and played zero warm-up to play at the Australian Open

Korbel's personal social media

On January 7, Beijing time, three-time Grand Slam champion Kerber revealed his new crown recovery on his personal social media and left for Melbourne to participate in the Australian Open.

Kerber wrote on social media: "Today is the last day of my off-season and tomorrow I'm headed to Melbourne. I regret missing the WTA event in Sydney. However, after I was diagnosed positive for COVID-19 last month, I had to adjust my schedule because of the need for isolation. Now I have passed all the medical examinations and hope to be ready for the Australian Open. Thank you for your love and support. ”

The 33-year-old German star Kerber, who is now ranked 16th in the world, has withdrawn from the only warm-up match he has signed up for before the Australian Open due to the unfortunate new crown, the WTA500 Sydney leg, which starts next week. With zero warm-up "parachuted" into the Australian Open, back to his first Grand Slam title "blessed land", what kind of performance will Kerber bring? Let's wait and see.
