I don't like Errani much but an independent tribunal, appointed by the ITF, said there was no evidence the cancer drug found in her test would enhance the performance of an elite tennis player. she got a short suspension because doping authorities have to be vigilant and she had a very slight degree of fault in not avoiding it getting in her system. nobody objective has credibly mounted any kind of case that Errani was consciously doping.

But there is also her long-standing working relationship with Dr. Luis Garcia del Moral.

Konjuh can still get in as a LL. She had an incredibly tough qualifying draw, and she would richly deserve a LL spot.

She won't, her ranking is not high enough to be one of the 6 ALT

No, I don't believe she can, because she's ranked the lowest of the 16 losers. If I've correctly interpreted the various posts on this subject, those going to Melbourne will be six of the top eight (Bonaventure, Gasparyan, Schmiedlova, Tsurenko, Rakhimova, Buzarnecu or Osuigwe, Raina and Lepchenko).
Kanepi and Errani Also Putintseva, Flipkens, Sasnovich, Kawa,Podoroska,Bonaventure,Tsurenko,Marino

Honestly, for Ana, this isn't a bad thing. I'm not sure if right now what she needs is flying to the other side of the world, not hitting a ball for 2 weeks and then suddenly throwing herself against slam level competition, potentially a top 50 player so soon. Perhaps she would've risen to the occasion, and it would've been great to see her there, but I still think in the long run it's better for her to step back down for the time being and continue to build her confidence. She came a set away from the maindraw, so it's hardly blown her confidence, and 3 consecutive matches against top 200 competition will have only helped.
As for Errani, whilst I would've preferred to see Konjuh through, I have to give her credit for finding a way yet again. It's NID at this point that every main tour level win is going to be a struggle, but she is often finding a way now and if she can continue this trend of qualifying for slams and maybe winning a round, pretty soon she might find herself a top 100 player again, which would be quite an achievement considering she's 34 in April and without a serve.

A damn shame that Bertens won't be in Melbourne. That is a rematch that needs to happen in 2021.
