Bernard Tomic is the latest Australian athlete to display symptoms of coronavirus.

The former world No 17 and Wimbledon quarter-finalist is in isolation in Miami.

The Queenslander told the Herald Sun he fell ill last week.

“Since Tuesday, started feeling not right,” Tomic said.

“I already had shortness of breath and my immune system was low and run down.

“I’m currently in Miami and isolated away from everyone, as advised.

“I’m yet to be tested for it (COVID-19) but I have all the symptoms.’

Tomic contested a tournament in Mexico two weeks ago.

“I reckon I got it travelling from Mexico to Monterrey last week,” he said.
