Roberto Bautista Agut likens Australian Open quarantine to being in prison ‘but with wifi’

• Spanish world No 13 hits out at state government
• Men’s matches will remain best of five sets, says Craig Tiley

Spanish tennis player Roberto Bautista Agut has likened Australian Open quarantine in Melbourne to being in prison and laid the blame solely with the Victorian government.

Frustration and confusion continues unabated in the build-up to the season’s first major, starting on 8 February, with some 72 players and staffers in lockdown in Melbourne following six positive Covid-19 cases among the entourages arriving to Australia on 17 charter flights in recent days.
