Eleanor Crooks, PA Tennis Correspondent, Melbourne. Emma Raducanu put injury worries behind her with victory over Tamara Korpatsch at the Australian Open to ...

It paid off as she secured another break, clenching her fist in the direction of her team, and it was start of a run of six games in a row that put her in full control of the contest.

Raducanu had her left ankle strapped but grew in confidence through her first-round match against Tamara Korpatsch.

She was ill-equipped to cope with the speed and depth of Raducanu’s flat groundstrokes, and especially her return. She clearly finds Melbourne an extremely congenial city to hang out in, and will now be able to savour at least a few more of her favourite coconut waters before the tennis circus moves on. “Yeah, I think just at the moment I'm swinging more freely in general,” Raducanu concluded.

Now they are about to collide in the first instalment of a rivalry for the TikTok generation. Even on neutral balls, her lack of recent hitting practice betrayed itself in a hefty tally of 34 unforced errors. “Serena is retired now,” Gauff added, “but she was always the American that people looked to. There's other British players, but no one has done what she's done and gotten that far in a slam.” “I'm really looking forward to this match,” Raducanu said. “I feel like probably more than I have experienced, coming to win a slam. As two of the most talked-about players on tour, neither woman has had much peace since their respective breakthroughs.
