Australian Open: Katie Boulter to join Johanna Konta & Heather Watson in main draw

Britain's Katie Boulter is set to join Johanna Konta and Heather Watson in the Australian Open main draw after using an injury-protected ranking to enter.

Boulter, 24, has dropped to 365th in the world after a back injury.

British number one Konta, 29, and 28-year-old Watson, ranked 14th and 58th respectively, qualify automatically.

Dan Evans, Kyle Edmund and Cameron Norrie are entered in the men's draw, while former world number one Andy Murray is set to be given a wildcard.

Fit-again Boulter was ranked a career-high 82nd in February 2019 before sustaining her injury in a Fed Cup tie two months later.
