今天，我們還是無法出去訓練。

因為相信有在關心澳網AO的朋友都知道，昨天抵達的包機有確診的病例（不是我們所搭乘的新加坡包機），所以導致於行程都受到影響，為了安全起見，目前搭乘新加坡包機的這一班團隊，無法如預期的在1/17就開始在泡泡訓練，可能最快將會在明天1/18開始，目前還在等待通知，而且我們所有人，每天都必須接受篩檢。

甚至搭乘有確診著航班的選手們，在隔離期間是無法訓練的，為了把風險降到最低，這是目前我們所收到最新的資訊。

從昨晚的AO視訊會議來看，主辦單位已經竭盡所能的，與醫療團隊以及當地政府極力的配合，在保護社區、選手與賽事如期進行之中不斷取捨。當然這過程當中，也有很多選手發表個人的意見，AO賽會執行長也都親上火線回答，雖然在這疫情之下，沒有所謂百分之百不會失誤的計劃，但AO團隊的態度和努力，著實讓人佩服！

在這疫情的影響之下，願意挺身而出舉辦比賽，提供選手們出賽的機會（工作的機會），而選手也能自由選擇參賽與否的情況之下，本來就承擔著相對的風險。

主辦單位也以前所未有縝密的計劃，幾個月來不斷調整、配合、聽取我們的意見。面對疫情所帶來的影響，我想我們應該要給AO更多的肯定、更多的耐心。

Today we’re still not being able to go out for practice.
As everyone who is following AO knows, there are some positive cases in the charter flight which arrived yesterday ( not our flight from Singapore), so for safety concerns, our training schedule has been changed. We’re supposed to be able to train in the bubble today January 17th, but with this reason, the earliest training, would be tomorrow January 18th. We are still waiting for the update. Also all of us should do the test everyday during quarantine now.

The latest update is, players who are coming with the positive cases flight, have to stay in their room during the whole quarantine period, which means they can’t practice during quarantine. This is to help and to lower the risk of infection as possible.

From the meeting with AO team last night, the organizers had tried their best to cooperate with the medical teams and local government. In order to protect the community, all the players and try to provide the best Australian open as they can. Even though there were many different opinions from each team, tournament director Craig Tiley answered the questions personally as much as possible. Just like Craig said: with this pandemic, there are no 100% guarantee of any plan.

But the AO team is working unbelievably hard, and we should all respect to that.

To hold tournaments such as Grand Slam at this special period of time, they provide chances for us to play (provide jobs), and players are free to choose to play or not. Under this circumstance we should know that there is risk if we decide to play. AO has been working incredibly hard to make the tournaments happen, I think we should all appreciate with their hard work, and give more positive feedbacks and patience to them.

Thanks AO.
Australian Open
