Almost all the Australian Open players and staff have tested negative to coronavirus after they were forced into isolation after being linked to a hotel quarantine worker who caught the virus.
Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley told 3AW officials were waiting on the results of just 12 more tests.
"So far everyone is negative," Mr Tiley said.
