 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name is Cam Williams and Emma Raducanu has tested positive for COVID-19 and has to withdraw from the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament that's happening this week. There's a lot of good players playing in that exhibition tournament. Raducanu was going to be playing against Belinda Benchich, is what the tournament had to say about the Raducanu withdrawal. The tournament brought out a statement saying, Emma is now isolating and following all necessary protocols. We wish her a quick recovery and hope to see her back on court soon. We are looking at alternative top female competitors to go head to head with Belinda Benchich. Further updates will be provided in due course. And Raducanu came out with a statement saying, I was very much looking forward to playing in front of the fans in Abu Dhabi, but unfortunately after testing positive for COVID-19, I will have to postpone until the next opportunity. I'm isolating as per the rules and hopefully we'll be able to get back on court soon. So there you have it, a statement from the organisers of the Abu Dhabi tournament and of course a statement from Raducanu as well. Bit of a shame because it's the first time we'll see Raducanu in a couple of weeks and also it was supposed to be a rematch of what happened at the US Open when these two players played each other, but there's still some big names playing. We still have Dominic Teem coming back from injury. Rafa Nadal of course is the showcase event. He's probably the highlight player of the whole tournament. Let me know down in the comments below. Do you think this will affect her Australian Open? Because we know the Australian Open have some strict protocols. You think she'll get over it, she'll be playing in Australia. Some players are starting to pull out of the Australian Open either because they're unvaccinated or because of injury. So Raducanu, she is out of the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament but Rafa Nadal, he's still playing.
