Paying the price for narrowly missing a seeding, Ajla Tomljanovic has copped a horror Australian Open draw.
The Australian should ease through her opening match against Argentina's world No.192 Nadia Podoroska.
But then it gets treacherous for the world No.35.
Tomljanovic could face 2020 champion Sofia Kenin or two-time Open winner Victoria Azarenka in round two.
It won't get any easier if the 2022 Wimbledon and US Open quarter-finalist makes it to the third round, with in-form 10th seed Madison Keys - a semi-final loser to Ash Barty last year - potentially waiting there.
Tomljanovic could also play sixth seed Maria Sakkari in the last 16 and world No.3 Jessica Pegula in the quarter-finals.
