A former British number one was impressed with Emma Raducanu’s big-game mentality after the teen started her Australian Open campaign with a win.
The world number 18 prevailed 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 over 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens to reach the second round of the year’s first Grand Slam.
The Briton made a scintillating start as she wrapped up the first set without losing a game in less than 20 minutes.
