Australian tennis star Ellen Perez posted a hilarious video mocking those who are complaining about quarantine at the Australian Open.

Seventy-two players at the tournament are currently in a 14-day quarantine and not allowed to leave their hotel rooms after positive coronavirus tests emerged on three separate inbound flights to Melbourne on Saturday.

The rest of the players are only allowed to leave their rooms for a maximum of five hours per day.

Among those under the tougher restrictions are Kazakh player Yulia Putintseva and Australian player Bernard Tomic, who is quarantining with his girlfriend, Vanessa Sierra - all of whom have complained about the conditions.

Putintseva has shared videos of mice in two separate rooms she has stayed in, while she posted a photo of her on Instagram holding up a sign that read: "We need fresh air to breathe," adding in the caption that the windows do not open.

Sierra, a former Love Island Australia contestant, has shared clips of herself moaning about the food being served in the hotel, that she is having to "poop" in front of her boyfriend, and that she has to wash her own hair.

Perez took aim at both in her video.

"So it's been a massive first day of quarantine for me, my body is just aching, and there is no better way to recover than a recovery swim," said Perez.

She then proceeded to get into her bath tub fully clothed and pretended to swim.

As she climbed out, she added: "Guys, it is just so hard to breathe in here, there is no air. I can't live like this, I can't do this. And, look at my hair, I'm going to have to wash it on my own now.

"What a disaster this is."

In a a separate video posted to her Instagram story, Perez also mocked Novak Djokovic, who has been pictured posing topless on his balcony in Adelaide for the press.

"Umm, I'm a bit confused as to why there's no paparazzi out here," she said as she peered out of her window. "You guys have the perfect view at me. I've even put lip gloss on right now."

Perez later posted another Instagram story of herself running five kilometers in her hotel room, tagging Brit Heather Watson who completed the same workout earlier in the week.

She also joked that "nobody is safe" from her mockery in response to a Fox News Australia story about her.

Once she's done with quarantine, Perez will team up to play doubles with compatriot Daria Gavrilova at the Australian Open, which kicks off on February 8.
