Emma Raducanu will take on five-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek after battling through more injury problems to beat Amanda Anisimova in the second round of the Australian Open.
The former US Open champion had her preparations for the tournament disrupted by a back spasm and she had treatment for what appeared to be a lower back issue during the second set.
Later on, British No 1 Boulter takes on Veronika Kudermetova as she bids to reach the third round of the Australian Open for the first time. Boulter battled to a close win over Rebecca Marino in her first match.
Elsewhere, defending Australian Open champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka are in action, as Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca looks to back up his stunning opening win over ninth seed Andrey Rublev.
