Whilst it is disappointing to see Jodie and Lily lose in the fqr, is this the firat time that either of them have gotten that far in Australia. Qualifying we know is very difficult just like the main draw. When you look at Jodie and see that a couple of years back she was outside the top 200 and nobody was even sure she would be where she is now I call it progress still. Is Indiana says, very little to defend so with the right schedule and results Jodie should certainly be aiming directly at the door of the top 100.

 She does seem stronger mentally in the past year which was a big problem before, plus unlike the Katies she's managed a lengthy run without injury which has also been a great help.

Easy to be disappointed, but she has reached the final of a 60K and the 3rd and final round of qualifying - a new best - everything going in the right direction. Hope she comes back to Sunderland ready to take the title.

It is the first time since 2011 that Heather has not featured in the Australian Open singles main draw.

Any chance of a LL spot for Jodie or Lily?

  4 seeds higher than Jodie lost in FQR so unlikely.

 Seven seeds lost in the FQR and Jodie was the fifth of those. Lily was unseeded. So Jodie might have a chance, but it's pretty unlikely that Lily has any chance at all.

Remind us how the LL process works? I had in mind that the top ranked players plus one go into a draw, compared to places available ?

As there are no vacancies at the end of qualifying, LLs will be chosen from a random draw from the 4 highest ranked losers*, with any further LLs needed selected by the order of ranking. So Jodie needs 5 withdrawals to get a LL spot.

*If there were 3 or more withdrawals as at the completion of qualifying it would have been a draw from the number of withdrawals + 2.

Well Paula Badosa and Veronika Kudermatova both pulled out of their semi final matches in Adelaide..however I think this is an example of the unprofessionalism rife in the WTA tour as opposed to actual injuries

Gutted for Jodie and Lily. Onwards and upwards.

Yes, sad for Australian fans - that's always a big blow, to lose your big name

And Badosa too - very high profile and watchable 

Very happy for Léolia though
