"I'm hoping to recover quickly from the infection," she says "Jabeur joined to the conversation on Twitter. 

"Unfortunately, despite being properly vaccinated, I recently tested positive for COVID-19," says the author "Bencic, the 23rd-ranked Swiss player, said the same thing on Twitter.

"As I am experiencing rather serious symptoms (fever, aches, chills), I am currently isolating and taking all precautionary (steps) to get through this as well as can." While the timing isn't ideal – I was just finishing up my preparations for the Australian Open – I'll be in Australia as soon as I'm cleared and out of the isolation period."

The Australian Open gets underway in Melbourne on January 17th. 

In a series of tweets, Carlos Moya, the 1998 French Open champion, described his symptoms as "fever, headache, sweating, pain all over the body, chills." "I'm hoping the worst is over."
