Updates from Thursday’s action at Melbourne ParkDay four: Draper beats Kokkinakis in thrillerAny thoughts? Get in touch with Martin on email
Emma Raducanu and Amanda Anisimova are just completing their warm-up and both should have little to hide ahead of their second-round clash after being regular practice partners and becoming good friends in recent times.
The former US Open winner told Tumaini Carayol what it will mean to play Anisimova for the first time.
I think we’re going to be playing each other many more times in the future. This is the first time. And it’s gonna be a good match. I think she’s a tough opponent. She took some time out, obviously, off the tour, for sort of mental health reasons and just to find herself again.
