It’s a complete disaster: Agut on quarantine facilities
Bautista Agut is generally a soft spoken person and is very selective with his words. However, the Spaniard hit out at the quarantine facilities provided to them by the authorities and blamed the Victorian government for the mishap. He even stated that the Wifi in his room was weak.
“These people has no idea about tennis, about practise courts, has no idea about anything,” Roberto said. “So, it’s a completely disaster because of the control of everything. It’s not Tennis Australia, it’s the people from the government,” he said.
“I did work in the room but it’s not the same,” he continued. “My hours feeling very very tight, and I cannot imagine they are saying 2 weeks like this. It’s really really tough. I [have to] take it easy these days and have to work a lot mentally and be patient,” the Spaniard added.
