Qualification for the Australian Open is under way as the final few contenders aim to scrape through into the main draw for the tournament.

Brits Liam Broady, Katie Boulter and Ryan Peniston are among the hopefuls aiming to gate-crash the Australian Open party.

Excitement is building ahead of the main competition with a fresh line-up of stars at the top of the billing hoping to make 2023 the year they truly lead the pack.

Rafael Nadal enters as top seed in the absence of injured world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz. He is followed by Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic, while Felix Auger-Aliassime completes the top five.

No.26 seed Dan Evans and unseeded Andy Murray enter the draw with the ambitious target of reaching the second week, while Emma Raducanu’s participation remains unclear due to injury issues.

Women’s world No.1 Iga Swiatek enters 2023 determined to maintain her grip over the WTA Tour, though expectations are high for Coco Gauff to continue her march towards the very top of the game.
