Emma Raducanu knocked out of Australian Open by unseeded Danka Kovinic

Emma Raducanu suffered a surprise defeat in the second round of the Australian Open, being beaten 6-4 4-6 6-3 by world No. 98 Danka Kovinic.

The 19-year-old Brit appeared to struggle with a blister on her hand throughout the match and required treatment on several occasions from the court doctor.

With the blister affecting her dominant right hand, Raducanu struggled to hit her forehand with her usual power and consistency and the unseeded Kovinic took full advantage to clinch the opening set.
