- Emma Raducanu exited the Australian Open in the second round, losing 7-6 (3) 6-2 to Anastasia Potapova.
- The British number one had been aiming for a third-round clash with world number one Aryna Sabalenka but was unable to maintain her early lead.
- Raducanu's performance was impacted by a pre-season foot injury, which left her with insufficient match practice and preparation.
- Challenging windy conditions during the match led to an error-strewn performance from both players.
- Potapova, now representing Austria, recovered from a 5-3 deficit in the first set to secure her victory
