–

MELBOURNE, Australia – The qualifying didn’t yield much last week. But there are four men in the singles main draw (including Chilean-American Alejandro Tabilo) and two in the women’s singles draw.

In the doubles – two seeded teams. Gabriela and Erin Routliffe, and Leylah Fernandez (who is the No. 16 seed with Nadiia Kichenok of Ukraine).

Liam Draxl continues in Portugal, after making the final of the first tournament there last week. He’s scheduled to be joined by Alexis Galarneau, denied in Melbourne.

And Victoria Mboko pulled off the double – in singles and doubles – at a $25K ITF in Guadeloupe, along with Juan Carlos Aguilar in singles in Jamaica.

So three more big trophies in the haul this week.
