Australian Open chief Craig Tiley insisted Sunday the Grand Slam would begin as scheduled next month, while admitting it was not a great situation for the 47 players who have been confined to their hotel rooms. The tournament was thrown into disarray on Saturday when 3 people tested positive to Covid on two of the 17 charter flights that brought players and their entourages to Melbourne and Adelaide.
