MELBOURNE : Emma Raducanu was pleased with how her ankle held up in her first match since picking up an injury in the build-up to the Australian Open, saying that getting on court had eased any lingering worries she had.
The 20-year-old sparked fears she could miss the year's first Grand Slam after retiring hurt from her second-round match at the Auckland Classic. "Everything I've done has been quite controlled in the last week," 2021 U.S. Open champion Raducanu told reporters."So to test it out in a real match, and with the unpredictability and stuff, just getting used to it in the beginning.Raducanu wasted little time in reaching the second round, dismissing Tamara Korpatsch 6-3 6-2 to set up a showdown with French Open runner-up Coco Gauff.
"I'm very up for it," she said."Coco's obviously done a lot of great things and she's playing well. I think we're both good, young players, we're both coming through. Part of the next generation of tennis, really. "When she first came at Wimbledon, after that, it took her a little bit to adjust as well, but she definitely found her feet. She's playing really good tennis and looking really solid right now.
