Emma Raducanu was knocked out of the Australian Open by world No 55 Anastasia Potapova as the British No 1 suffered an early exit in Melbourne.
Raducanu, the 28th seed, struggled with forehand errors and was subdued as Potapova won 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 to set up a third-round clash with world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka, which would have been the target for Raducanu despite arriving at the tournament short of match fitness following a disruptive off-season foot injury.
