British No 2 beaten 6-1, 6-0 by Iga Swiatek in third round‘Given the preparation I had, I have to be grateful’
Emma Raducanu says she leaves Melbourne positive about her progress and development despite suffering the heaviest defeat of her grand slam career to Iga Swiatek, the No 2 seed, in the third round of the Australian Open.
“Three weeks ago when I was in Auckland, at the end of last year, I was doing pool rehab. I think to be on a tennis court playing matches and competing is something I have to be grateful for. I started hitting when I came here 18 days ago. I have to take a positive that I was able to beat two top opponents in the first two rounds,” said Raducanu.
