In Melbourne, the next big name was hit – the Briton Emma Raducanu also failed in the second round. The 19-year-old was defeated Danka Kovinic (WTA 98) from Montenegro with 4: 6, 6: 4, 3: 6.
For Raducanu it is the first sporting defeat in a Grand Slam tournament. On her debut in Wimbledon she had to give up in the round of 16 against Ajla Tomljanovic with breathing problems, at the US Open she sensationally won the tournament. (dab)
