The tournament’s grounds feature three distinct zones to enhance both separation and contact tracing, and all spectators must clear a series of checkpoints and complete a health declaration before attending matches. As for the players and their various trainers, family, and significant others: More the 1,200 of them arrived in Australia weeks ago via 17 charter flights, but because of COVID-19-related issues and contact tracing on at least three of those flights, 72 players were required to quarantine in their hotels—many of them without attendant courts for practice—for two weeks. (Angelique Kerber, who was upset in the first round last night by Croatian-American Bernarda Pera, put much of the blame for her loss on the quarantine.)
Aside from the Kerber upset, the early going in the first round has been mostly pro forma—but as the days roll on and the tournament takes shape, here are a few things to look out for. On the women’s side, there would seem to be an embarrassment of riches and a multitude of potential winners. The number-one seed for the second year in a row, Australian Ashleigh Barty, looked great in a warm-up tournament—but hasn’t otherwise played a competitive match in almost a year, riding out the pandemic at home in Queensland. Sofia Kenin, who beat Barty in the semis last year en route to the championship, is defending her title as the fourth seed. (The steady-as-a-rock Simona Halep and the occasionally erratic Naomi Osaka are seeded second and third, respectively.)
