“Unfortunately
and
even
though
I
am
fully
vaccinated,
I
recently
tested
positive
for
Covid-19.
“I
am
currently
isolating
and
taking
all
precautionary
[measures]
to
get
through
this
as
best
as
possible
as
I
am
experiencing
quite
severe
symptoms
(fever,
aches,
chills).”
The
Mubadala
World
Tennis
Championship
typically
serves
as
a
warm-up
