Jodie Burrage suffered a bitter defeat on her main draw debut at the Australian Open as a promising start against Tamara Korpatsch ended in a 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 loss on Sunday afternoon.
Burrage, the British No 2, had opened the contest playing excellent attacking tennis, dominating from inside the baseline with her superior pace and weight of shot and smothering Korpatsch’s weak second serve.
