The Break: The unboxing of Qai Qai the doll

The Break is bringing you all the off-court news you need to know and this this week is all about the Australian Open and Qai Qai the doll.

Andy Murray speaks out

The three-time major champion was a little on edge when discussing his Australian Open plans. He stated that players should be vaccinated if they want to play in tour-level events in 2021.

"I'll go as soon as I can. A lot of players are coming from very cold climates just now," Murray said. "To then go and ask players to play in 35, 36 degree heat, with no match preparation, it just increases the risk of injuries and possibly the quality of tennis is not going to be that high"
