Ash Barty<\/a>'s coach has put Australia's strict COVID-19 quarantine rules on blast after the world's best female tennis player was reportedly denied a request to spend her two weeks' isolation at home.<\/p>\n

The Queenslander had spent six months on tour – winning her first Wimbledon title in the process – but opted to cut her season short to return home<\/a> and prepare for the Australian Open<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

But just to get back Down Under proved a headache for the world No.1 and her team.<\/p>\n

"For travellers coming back, if you're an Australian overseas, they don't make it easy," Tyzzer said.<\/p>\n

"You can't get flights, it's ridiculously expensive and you've got to do two weeks' quarantine in a hotel where you can't open windows.<\/p>\n

\"Ash<\/p>\n

"You get tested basically the same amounts in the tournaments, both players and their teams. So we were up to 68 (COVID-19 tests) when Ash left for London and I left to come home to Australia.<\/p>\n

"It's part of what we had to put up with this year. It's not much fun.<\/p>\n

"You know at least everybody around you and in the tournaments are safe and COVID-free so it certainly enables you to operate.<\/p>\n

"But to come back and do another couple of weeks (in quarantine) after two tests and finding out you're negative, it's a bit ridiculous."<\/p>\n

Barty withdrew from the Billie Jean King Cup in Prague and is unlikely to contest the WTA championship in Mexico, where she would be defending her title.<\/p>\n
