Katie Boulter, Jodie Burrage and Lily Miyazaki advanced to the second round of qualifying for the Australian Open on a mixed day for England in Melbourne.
Katie Swan couldn’t make a clean sweep for the Brits in the women’s round, though, while on the men’s side, Liam Broady and Ryan Peniston were knocked out.
Boulter won a third-set tie-break to beat American Caroline Dolehide 6-3 3-6 7-6 (10-5) and will face Russia’s Polina Kudermetova on Wednesday.
Miyazaki beat Hailey Baptiste, also of the US, in straight sets, 6-4 7-5, while Burrage defeated Australia’s Elysia Bolton 6-2 6-4.
Next up for Miyazaki is Jan Su-Jeong of South Korea with Burrage against Barbora Palicova of the Czech Republic.
However, Broady’s hopes of making the main draw ended after he was beaten 6-3 6-7 7-6 (10-7) by Emilio Gomez of Ecuador.
Peniston lost in straight sets to Canada’s Alexis Galarneau and Swan was defeated by France’s Jessika Ponchet, also in straight sets.
The first Grand Slam of 2023 begins on Monday with Jack Draper, Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans, Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie in the men’s draw and Harriet Dart and Emma Raducanu in the women’s.
