Britain’s Francesca Jones is one match from making the main draw for the Australian Open after beating Croatian Jana Fett 7-6 (9-7) 2-6 6-1 in Dubai.
Jones, 20, from Leeds, is the only Brit left in the qualifying tournament and will take on China’s world number 200 Lu Jiajing today.
She previously beat Monica Niculescu in straight sets.
The last time she attempted to earn entry into the main draw of a major was at Wimbledon in 2019, but she was knocked out after the first round of qualifying.
