MELBOURNE: Emma Raducanu says a key lesson from her first Australian Open is that"I've got that fight in me" after the teenager adapted her game and gritted her teeth to play through pain with nasty blisters.

The blisters on her right, racquet hand had been getting progressively worse since her arrival in Australia, to the point where some on her team had urged her not to play. "I definitely think that the variety helps. I think that maybe some of the girls aren't used to it," she said."That was probably an element of surprise for my opponent who wasn't expecting me to be doing that.

She did admit, though, that she needed to work on her fitness, feeling the effects of having to run so much when using the slice shot as frequently as she did.
