Player spotlight: Ajla Tomljanovic is the next Australian to look out for

She may not be born and bred in the land Downunder, but Ajla Tomljanovic was declared an Australian citizen in 2018 and is now the second-highest ranked Aussie in the Top 100.

With the spotlight on Ash Barty still shining strong since her maiden Australian Open title early this year, other successful players representing the nation may have been shunned. The truth is, there are only three Australian women that are in the WTA Top 100, a number that represents a severe decline since the days of Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, and Hana Mandlikova.
