The coronavirus pandemic has affected the Australian Open badly. Due to quarantine rules, it became impossible to host the qualifiers in Melbourne, and hence, they had to be moved to Qatar. In addition to that, the event was postponed from January 18 to February 8.

Despite such changes, there are still many questions that players have over the event taking place. However, the organizers will soon answer them, just like they did with travel arrangements.

After many problems initially, things are looking good for the Melbourne Slam. Through the travel arrangements provided by the organizers, players will travel to Australia at the end of this month.
