The draw for the Australian Open places Katie Swan in the same section as top seed Shilin Xu, but she has a decent draw in the opening round (Jade Lewis did scalp a top 50 player last week though). Maia Lumsden faces the tricky prospect of home hope Kimberly Birrell, a semi-finalist here last year and finalist in the G1 warm-up last week. Katie is first up on court 11 whilst Emily is third on court 10
From [2-6] down in the MTB, Emily A's team staged a spirited comeback to win their doubles, 7-6(3) 2-6 [10-8]
They next face the imposing duo of Hon/Teichmann [5]
