British number one Johanna Konta says it's "not a given" that she will be a contender for the Australian Open title despite winning the warm-up tournament.
Konta, who broke into the world's top 10 last year, beat Agnieszka Radwanska to win her second WTA trophy at the Sydney International on Friday.
The 25-year-old begins her 2017 Grand Slam campaign against Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens on Tuesday.
"I'm very pleased with the level I played," said Konta of her Sydney win.
"But we all know that it's not a given. It doesn't decide how you will do in the next event.
