Heather Watson on her pre-Australian Open practice partners: 'For the first week I'm hitting with Johanna Konta and then for the second week we're pairing up with Anisimova and Kvitova.'

That's great for Heather to be in that quad. I did wonder who Jo would pair with (Heather I'd assumed would have a number of options given her friendships on Tour so hadnt expected it to be Jo or a top 20 player), it would be nice to see them play doubles a couple of times this year with an eye on the Olympics if it goes ahead.

Anyone know if many/any LL will travel from Qualifying in case anyone has a positive test during quarantine or gets injured.

I think I saw that 8 alts would be included - but can't remember where I saw it.

Seeing reports on twitter that Kyle has withdrawn from the Australian Open - I presume that will mean the whole swing of events as well.

Harriet has the peach, highest seed 16 in her quaarter, Poor Fran has the No.2 in her quarter

for Fran, Nicelescu is an interesting match. Real war of attrition, unconventional style but Fran needs to be solid and she can win that. Im going to go with Fran and Harriet winning openers

Jay has drawn Wu and Liam plays Lestienne. Decent draws id say

I'm gutted for Swan, she is next on the list but Yastremska has not been withdrawn yet. Not sure if there are any MDO left to get that spot but if not she really should be in and Yastremska out.

Shouldnt yastremska be suspended ? Or is it pending an appeal.

what does MDO stand for again, please?

emmsie69 · ATP level

MDO is Main draw only so they won't enter qualifying, not sure if there are any MDO left waiting for a spot or if they have all got in. Not sure about Yastremska, she is supposed to be provisionally suspended from the 7th but hasn't been removed from the draw. I would expect someone in Katies camp will get clarification before tomorrows play starts.
