Emma Raducanu, a 22-year-old tennis player, is setting her sights on reaching the third round of the Australian Open for the first time. She will be facing off against Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round of the 2025 tournament. The draw for the opening round was recently held, with the highly anticipated event set to kick off on January 12th.
As the current world No.60, Raducanu enters Melbourne Park as an unseeded player, hoping to make her mark on the Grand Slam event. However, her preparations were slightly disrupted when she had to withdraw from the ASB Classic tournament due to a back injury. After taking some time to rest and recover, Raducanu is now fully focused on the Australian Open and making a strong start to the 2025 tennis season.
For those in the UK, the Australian Open can be watched live on Eurosport, who hold the broadcasting rights for the event. Matches will typically begin at 12am on the outside courts and 1am on the show courts, with the night sessions starting at 8am UK time.
