The main event is in Australia.

But on the women’s side, unless you’re in Melbourne, there is absolutely nothing for you to play on the entire planet above the $25,000 ITF level.

The men, at least have a couple of Challengers to move on to. And many of the players who lost in qualifying last week have done just that.
