The sight of some of the world's biggest tennis stars touching down for the upcoming Australian Open tournament has frustrated many Australians unable to return home due to the pandemic.
Australia currently has a cap on the number of international arrivals, with people having to undergo quarantine in a designated facility.
ABC News reports there are roughly 37,000 Australians waiting to return.
A number of airlines have suspended routes making it harder to travel back.
Organisers of the Australian Open put on chartered flights for the players and other members of staff.
Players had to test negative before boarding flights and were then placed in quarantine hotels in Melbourne and Adelaide.
Their arrival, while so many Australians are still trying to return home, has drawn criticism.
