Earlier, Australia's ABC State Television reported that the 2022 expansion of Australian venue could move to Dubai (UAE) or Doha (Qatar) because the government was likely to close the border until mid -year.
However, recently, the local media channel quoted Australian Open Craig Tiley, said: “We will be here, right at Melbourne in January. I make sure the tournament will take place normally.”
Talking about the 2022 Australian expansion plan, Mr. Craig Tiley shared: “We will find a way to bring athletes to Melbourne. Australia is the best disease control country. We have found a way to manage closely and we will do it.”
Australia really controlled the epidemic very well. Strict limitations for those entry into this country are an important part of the Government's anti-translation strategy.
In February 2021, the first Grand Slam of the year went smoothly before the epidemic threat and Craig Tiley was confident that the Executive Board had gained enough experience so that one of the four most important tennis tournaments in the world continued to be held successfully next year.
“There are two enemies, crowded gathering and international tourism. Covid does not allow those two things to happen, and that is the core that brings success to us.”, Mr. Craig Tiley said.
