LATP made it official two days ago that Sam Querrey will be fined $ 20,000 (16,000 euros) if he repeats a leak like the one he starred in St. Petersburg after testing positive for coronavirus before the start of the tournament.
Querrey, who was traveling with the woman (positive) and her young daughter, did not want to spend the quarantine in Russia and much less be separated from his family for it, according to the protocol. For this reason, he notified the tournament doctors to perform a second PCR test at a time when he had already left the country after paying for a private jet.
By the time the organization was able to contact the American, he was already in Denmark. That caused such a diplomatic conflict that it threatened the development of an event that the local Andrey Rublev would finally win.
Querrey, 33 years old and ranked 53rd in the ranking, he has been part of the ATP Players Council, and the absence of controversial episodes throughout his career has helped him receive a rather symbolic punishment if one takes into account the political and sporting repercussions that his infraction of the protocols could have.
