The release of the list of players who will take part in the Australian Open qualifiers caused a stir in the tennis world, due to the absence of Richard Gasquet.
It turns out that it was actually a computer bug, as the Frenchman is indeed present.

On X, the @DiegoMB27 account shared the list of players eligible for the qualifiers who won't be taking part. Notable absentees include Marin Cilic, Albert Ramos-Vinolas, Hamad Medjedovic and Lloyd Harris.
Gasquet has been withdrawn from this list, as he will be taking part in the qualifiers.
A place in the main draw is also possible, provided that Lucas Pouille no longer needs a wild card to enter the main draw, and one is granted to him.
