Emma Raducanu admits her Australian Open second-round match against Anastasia Potapova will be tricky. The British No 1, who beat Mananchaya Sawangkaew 6-4, 6-1, has two days to prepare for a player she first watched in juniors. Raducanu knows Potapova's power game intimately.

Potapova, a Russian-turned-Austrian, has a history of high junior rankings and big-hitting. Raducanu's caution stems from facing a fresh opponent, but she's buoyed by fan support and a successful opening round. The match is a key test of her form after a foot issue disrupted her pre-season.

Also in Melbourne, Raducanu backed fellow Brit Jack Draper's return from a long arm injury lay-off. She empathized with the difficulty of returning to Grand Slam tennis after missing time herself. Both hope to compete together at the United Cup next year.
