(SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) NEW ZEALAND DOUBLES PLAYER QUARANTINING AHEAD OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN, ARTEM SITAK, SAYING:

"My plan is just to do a big workout for three hours in a row every day which would a little bit mimic how the long match in the Australian Open would be about three hours for a doubles guy. It's not the same of course I understand that, but at least it's something."
