World number one Ashleigh Barty says continuing to live like a "hermit" is helping her breeze through the Australian Open draw.
Australian Barty, 25, reached the third round by beating Italian qualifier Lucia Bronzetti 6-1 6-1 on Wednesday.
As she aims to become the first home champion since 1978, Barty says trying to avoid coronavirus as rates rise in Melbourne has not affected her.
"For us, it's pretty low-key anyway," she said.
"We come and practice and do what we need to do. Otherwise a good book and a coffee and I'm set."
The two-time Grand Slam champion has not dropped a game on her serve at Melbourne Park this week, beating Bronzetti in 52 minutes to back-up another emphatic win in the first round.
