Johanna Konta had to pull out of the Sydney International second round qualiifying match with a neck injury, just a week before the Australian Open starts. She could still be in the main draw as she gas a lucky loser place. She would be playing Kiki Bertens if she's fit enough.
In the Hobart International, Katie Boulter lost her first round qualifying match. Better news for Heather Watson as she has won both her qualifying matches so has reached the main draw where she plays Irina-Camelia Begu.
