(Reuters) - Canadian Bianca Andreescu's coach Sylvain Bruneau, whose positive test for COVID-19 was among those that ultimately sent more than 70 players into a 14-day quarantine ahead of the Australian Open, said on Friday he was ready to lead his player.

Bruneau was one of the five passengers from three charter flights that last month carried players to the year's first Grand Slam, starting on Monday in Melbourne, who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
