Jean-Julien Rojer (tennis) is the next on the doomed KLM flight to test positive. That's it for the chances in the men's doubles, where they were in the half of the draw where one of the top duo's was already out.

Meanwhile, prison life in the quarantaine hotel continues after the dinner consisting of dry rice basically, and personal mail being opened by authorities.

 

 

Japan has been leaving a very bad mark on these Games so far..

And two more Dutch tennis players tested positive. Not that it matters, since the entire team had already been withdrawn after Rojer's positive test.

And this is why these draconian COVID lockdowns will never work. No matter how much planning & preparation go into them, there’s always a weak link somewhere, someone in authority who’s doing things on the cheap, or who thinks the rules don’t apply.
