Jordan Thompson and Daria Gavrilova will receive wild cards into the Australian Open following victories in Tennis Australia playoffs.

Thompson defeated John-Patrick Smith, 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 6-7 (2), 9-7, winning in five sets for a second straight year. Both players were cramping in the high temperatures. "I couldn’t even remember the score when I was winning—I just knew I had to win one more game," said Thompson.

Gavrilova, who could not participate in the event last year because of her knee, defeated Arina Rodionova, 6-2, 6-4. “I actually thought about it during my match. I was like ‘Oh, wow, you were on crutches last year, so come on, keep fighting, you can do it.’ So that helped.”
