The 32-year-old picked the wrong flight from Moscow to Kazakhstan and had to be quarantined. 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.

She later learned that her test was negative but still must complete her quarantine before being released.
