US Open champion Emma Raducanu needs three sets to get past Sloane Stephens, as 2021 men's semi-finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas also progresses in Melbourne.

Teenaged US Open champion Emma Raducanu cleared a dangerous first-round hurdle at the Australian Open, seeing off fellow grand slam winner Sloane Stephens 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 in a topsy-turvy contest late on Tuesday night.The US Open champion plays Danka Kovinic in the next roundIn another match that finished close to midnight, men's fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas earned a spot in the second round after defeating Swede Mikael Ymer 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 on Rod Laver Arena.

She did not drop a set in New York in what was only her fifth WTA level tournament and showed similar form early against Stephens when she raced through the opening set in 17 minutes, leaking only four points. It looked ominous at that point for the 19-year-old Raducanu, whose build-up to her Australian Open debut had hardly been ideal, after she contracted COVID-19 and was crushed 6-0, 6-1 by Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina in her opening match of the year, in Sydney.
