Yaroslava Shvedova became the first professional tennis player to be quarantined due to Coronavirus last week as the 32-year-old ended up on a plane from Moscow to Nur-Sulta, Kazakhstan with an Italian passenger that tested positive for Coronavirus.



The former singles World No.25 (World No.3 doubles at one point) and two-time major doubles champion says she was on her way home to see her family after Indian Wells was cancelled but learned that she’d have to quarantine for 14 days soon after.

Hello everyone from the quarantine! 😷Many people in Kazakhstan probably heard about the flight from Moscow to Nur-Sultan on March 12th and that on that flight there was a passenger flying from Milan who had a coronavirus. So I was on that flight, flying home to my family from California after Indian Wells was canceled. Not long after arrival I was placed in stationary quarantine like all passengers of that flight. #caronavirus
