Stars go wild as quarantine ends; Serena heads to zoo, Novak walks barefoot

ADELAIDE, Australia (AFP) – A relieved Serena Williams took her daughter to the zoo Friday and Novak Djokovic was happy to simply walk barefoot in a park as the stars of tennis emerged from a fortnight of quarantine.

More than 1,000 players, coaches and officials jetted into largely virus-free Australia this month for 14 days’ lockdown ahead of the opening Grand Slam of the year, with most allowed out for just five hours of daily supervised training.

Big guns Williams, Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Naomi Osaka were among a select group that served their time in Adelaide rather than Melbourne ahead of an exhibition in the southern city on Friday.

American tennis player Serena Williams

Williams, who is gunning for one more Slam title to equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 at next month’s Australian Open, spent her two weeks holed up with three-year-old daughter Olympia.

”I’m so glad the quarantine is over because to be in a room with a three-year-old and being her best friend is definitely difficult, especially after training and working out and then it’s like, oh my gosh, it never ends,” said Williams.

”But it was fun… honestly I wouldn’t trade anything for spending hours with her.”

Asked what she did on her first day of freedom, Williams, who posed for selfies with fans after talking to reporters, said they headed to the zoo.

”We went to the zoo because we had a calendar in our room and every day we marked an x on the days that went by and a big circle on the quarantine ending day, and we promised that we would take her to the zoo to see koalas and kangaroos,” said the American.

Williams plays Osaka over two sets in the exhibition, while world number one Ashleigh Barty faces second-ranked Simona Halep.

‘Walk in the park’

World number one Djokovic said he was content just to enjoy space once more.

”A walk in the park,” he said of his first free morning. ”You know, just putting bare feet on the ground, just doing something that I didn’t have a chance to do so, just having the space I think that’s what we all kind of missed,” he said.

The 17-time Grand Slam winner is no stranger to Adelaide, winning one of his first ever titles in the city back in 2007.

”First time I came to Australia was in Adelaide and I drove my first car here on the opposite side,” he said.

”I won the tournament back in 2007 which was, I think, the second tournament that I won in my career and it was a huge springboard what was coming up in my career.”

Spanish great Nadal, who is aiming for a record-breaking 21st Slam title in Melbourne, moving him past the injured Roger Federer, plays third-ranked Dominic Thiem in his exhibition clash.

While most players have been able to train, 72 players were confined to their Melbourne rooms 24 hours a day after eight positive Covid-19 cases were detected on their charter flights to Australia.

They and other players in Melbourne also began tasting freedom, but torrential rain further complicated their already disrupted build-up.

Six ATP and WTA tournaments will take place at Melbourne Park next week to allow the players to return to match fitness before the Australian Open makes a delayed start on February 8.

    According to my study, after a in foreclosure home is available at a bidding, it is common for your borrower in order to still have any remaining balance on the personal loan. There are many financial institutions who aim to have all expenses and liens cleared by the up coming buyer. Nonetheless, depending on specified programs, laws, and state laws and regulations there may be a number of loans that are not easily solved through the shift of personal loans. Therefore, the duty still remains on the customer that has acquired his or her property in foreclosure process. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this weblog.

    Thanks for your article. I also think that laptop computers are getting to be more and more popular lately, and now in many cases are the only sort of computer employed in a household. The reason being at the same time they are becoming more and more economical, their computing power keeps growing to the point where they are as highly effective as pc’s from just a few years back.

    I have observed that car insurance organizations know the vehicles which are at risk from accidents and other risks. They also know what types of cars are inclined to higher risk and the higher risk they may have the higher a premium charge. Understanding the basic basics involving car insurance will help you choose the right types of insurance policy which will take care of your preferences in case you happen to be involved in an accident. Thank you sharing a ideas on your own blog.

    I really believe that a foreclosed can have a important effect on the borrower’s life. Real estate foreclosures can have a 6 to ten years negative effects on a borrower’s credit report. Any borrower who have applied for a mortgage or virtually any loans as an example, knows that the particular worse credit rating can be, the more hard it is to secure a decent bank loan. In addition, it could affect any borrower’s power to find a decent place to let or hire, if that becomes the alternative property solution. Great blog post.

    I do enjoy the manner in which you have framed this concern plus it does supply me some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, coming from just what I have observed, I basically trust as the actual responses pack on that people stay on issue and not start on a tirade regarding some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this excellent point and although I can not really go along with this in totality, I value your perspective.

    Thanks for your article. One other thing is that if you are promoting your property all on your own, one of the concerns you need to be aware of upfront is just how to deal with house inspection reviews. As a FSBO home owner, the key towards successfully transferring your property as well as saving money on real estate agent commissions is understanding. The more you know, the easier your home sales effort are going to be. One area that this is particularly critical is assessments.
