New to Kayo?After breaking late in the first set, she dashed to a 5-0 lead in the second, only for the nerves to kick in as she tried to close out her first grand slam match.

Fiona Crawley, who was the top-ranked collegiate player in 2023, forfeited more than $120,000 a year ago to ensure she finished her degree and said it was difficult to stomach. The right-hander, who has risen impressively up the rankings in lower-tier professional tournaments, is ranked 135 and is shaping as one of Australia’s brightest prospects.
