Australian Open: Jodie Burrage and Lily Miyazaki, a British duo aiming to join Emma Raducanu and Harriet Dart in the main women’s singles draw, easily advanced to the last round of Australian Open qualifying.
Burrage ranked 128 in the world, defeated Barbora Palicova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-2 to book a date with Selena Janicijevic of France.
178 in the world Miyazaki defeated Su-Jeong Jang of South Korea 6-4 7-6 (7-2) and will now play American Coco Vandeweghe.
However, Katie Boulter’s dreams of qualifying for the main draw for the fourth tournament in five years were dashed when she was defeated 6-1, 6-3 by Russian teenager Polina Kudermetova.
Raducanu is optimistic about his fitness for the Australian Open.
Raducanu is still optimistic that she will be ready for the Australian Open, which is scheduled for January 16–29.
The ASB Classic in Auckland last week saw the British No. 1 retire from her second-round match against Viktoria Kuzmova after twisting her left ankle.
The 20-year-old stated in an interview with Tennis Australia on Monday, “I’m just taking a day at a time, honestly, and just trying to, every single day tries as best as possible to see and make progress.”
“And we’ll see hopefully whether I’m OK and prepared by Monday, or whenever the competition starts.
But at this point, we’re just taking each day as it comes and not trying to expect too much.
