Emma Raducanu is the last British woman standing at the Australian Open after she demonstrated her tenacity and resourcefulness en route to a 6-3, 7-5 second-round win against her friend Amanda Anisimova. Hopes of a deep run for the British No 1, Katie Boulter, ended in a disappointing 6-7(3), 6-2, 2-6 defeat by Veronika Kudermetova.
“I played really well in some big moments,” said Raducanu. “It was going to be a really challenging one, playing Amanda. She’s a good friend of mine, so it’s never easy.
