Emma Raducanu begins her Australian Open campaign against Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew on Sunday, as the British No 1 enters a grand slam as one of the seeded players for the first time in three years.
Having returned to the world’s top 30 following a more positive 2025 season, Raducanu still landed a tough draw for the tournament with world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka a likely opponent if she makes the third round.
