Canadian superstar Denis Shapovalov<\/a> is in doubt for the upcoming ATP Cup in Sydney after testing positive for COVID-19 upon arrival in Australia.<\/p>\n

The No.14 ranked Canadian was among the first players to arrive in Sydney and was scheduled to compete in next month's ATP Cup.<\/p>\n

Shapovalov, 22, took to Instagram this morning to confirm the news while revealing he's "experiencing minor symptoms".<\/p>\n

"Hi everyone, just wanted to update you that upon my arrival in Sydney, I tested positive for Covid," Shapovalov wrote.<\/p>\n

"I am following all protocols, including isolation and letting the people who I've been in contact with know.<\/p>\n

"Right now I am experiencing minor symptoms and look forward to getting back on the court, when it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n

\"Denis<\/p>\n

"Thank you in advance for your support and wish you all a safe and happy holiday."<\/p>\n

The ATP Cup is currently scheduled to be held from January 1-9 in Sydney.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic<\/a>'s participation at the Australian Open appears in doubt after the Serbian superstar pulled out of the ATP Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old's withdrawal means his availability for the Australian Open is more complex.<\/p>\n

The Australian Open isn't scheduled to start until January 17, but a Victorian state-enforced COVD-19 vaccine mandate has put pressure on the 20-time Grand Slam winner's availability, who to date has refused to reveal his vaccination status<\/a>.<\/p>\n
