Sis players have used their protected ranking (PR) on both the men’s and women’s side, which means the entry cut-off is No 98 for both the draws. Those using their PR include former Wimbledon runner-up and local favourite Nick Kyrgios, former US Open runner-up Kei Nishikori and Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Belinda Bencic.

Two players who have already secured wildcards are China’s Zhang Shuai and Thailand’s Kasidit Samrej, who won AO Asia-Pacific Wildcard Play-off.

The Australian Open main draw action starts on January 12, with the qualifying draw beginning a week earlier.
