Briton loses to world No 3 in second round 6-3, 7-5Harriet Dart out after 4-6, 6-0, 6-2 loss to Donna Vekic
Jodie Burrage believes she is “only just getting started” after successfully returning to grand slam competition following a long injury layoff. The British player leaves Melbourne full of confidence after being extremely competitive with Coco Gauff in her 6-3, 7-5 second round loss to the third seed at the Australian Open on Wednesday.
“I’m going to take a lot of confidence from the fact that she’s No 3 in the world,” said Burrage. “I felt like I didn’t have a great start. Then I got myself back into it. The game that she broke me, I gave it to her a little bit with those volley [errors]. I’m there with her and I felt like I was in that.
