Australian Open organisers rule out change of dates, format

MELBOURNE, Jan 19 (Reuters): Organisers of the Australian Open ruled on Tuesday out reducing the men's tournament at the Grand Slam to best-of-three sets due to players' inability to train at required level amid the strict Covid-19 quarantine rules.
A total of 72 players are currently not allowed to leave their hotel rooms for 14 days after some passengers on three charter flights to Australia tested positive for Covid-19 infections.
