13390304, Tennis Player Novak Djokovic Has Coronavirus

While you might be tempted to say "...ok and?" it is especially interesting because of this:

"Djokovic said he might not play US Open because their safety rules were too restrictive. So he created his own tournaments celebrating no restrictions and gets COVID-19. You can’t write this stuff."

And I feel like it might have further implications.

US Open is around the corner and although obviously they will have much stricter rules in terms of safety makes me think of Serena (who has had pulmonary embolisms) and Venus (who has an autoimmune disorder) and how maybe the tournaments coming back right now just really ain't the move.
