Emma Raducanu Marks Strong Return with Win Over Shelby Rogers

Emma Raducanu expressed the “extra sweet” feeling of her Grand Slam comeback with a confident win over Shelby Rogers in the Australian Open first round. The 2021 US Open champion, who had been absent from majors since last year due to wrist and ankle surgeries, secured a 6-3, 6-2 victory. Raducanu, ranked 296th in the world after her hiatus, faces China’s Wang Yafan in the second round. British number one Katie Boulter also advanced, overcoming a tough challenge against Yuan. Boulter will meet China’s 12th seed Zheng Qinwen in the next round, with a potential third-round clash against Raducanu.
