“I am currently in isolation and taking all precautionary measures to get through this as best as possible as I am experiencing quite severe symptoms (fever, pain, chills).
“While the timing is not ideal – as I was in the final stages of my preparation Australian Open Swing – I’ll make my way to Australia as soon as I’m cleared and over the isolation period.”
Bencic lost to Tunisian Ons Jabeur, who replaced US Open champion Emma Radukanu, after the latter tested positive for COVID-19 and withdrew from the event.
The Australian Open is starting on January 17.
