Organisers of the forthcoming Australian Open may be prepared to play an unprecedented amount of matches indoors to combat poor air quality if the country's bushfires persist this month. The air quality index moved up to 210, which is a level considered 'very unhealthy'. If they came to be used it would be the most indoor matches played ever at a Grand Slam. Meanwhile, Serena Williams and Jo Konta both played their first matches since the US Open, enjoying mixed fortunes. Wozniacki is to retire following the Australian Open.
