Katie Boulter eventually prevailed in a three set struggle against Rebecca Marino. Boulter won 6-4 3-6 7-5 and will now face Veronika Kudermetova in the second round.
Cameron Norrie was not so fortunate however as he lost in four sets to Matteo Berrettini 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-1 6-3.

Well done Boulter and Raducanu

Mixed fortunes at Melbourne Park on day four. Jodie Burrage gave a valiant effort in defeat to Coco Gauff losing 6-3 7-5. Harriet Dart lost to Donna Vekic 4-6 6-0 6-2.
Jacob Fearnley continued his fine run with an excellent 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-3 win over Arthur Cazaux of France.
And in the last few minutes Jack Draper has once again clawed back a set deficit twice to fight back and beat Thanasi Kokkinakis 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-6 7-5 6-3. He trailed 2-5 in the fourth set but won 5 games in a row for salvation before claiming an epic win.

Great resilience from Fearnley and Draper then. Burrage was always up against it. Dart may rue a missed chance there after a good start, or an opponent who upped her game.

Good news early on day five
.Emma Raducanu is through to the third round after a 6-3 7-5 win over Amanda Anisimova. Her serve was a little more secure and her groundstrokes were excellent. Next up is the small matter of an acid test match up against multiple slam winner Iga Swiatek.

But Katie Boulter suffered defeat after an error strewn performance as she crashed out of the tournament at the hands of Russia's Veronika Kudermetova 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 6-2.

Jacob Fearnley finally succumbed to a 6-3 6-4 6-4 defeat to Alexander Zverev. But his overall tournament showed real promise. He did really well and the signs for the future are positive.

Jack Draper has survived yet another five set epic this time against Aleksandar Vukic.
In a match of constant ebbs and flows it came down to a match tie break from which Draper prevailed to win 6-4 2-6 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (10-8).
Next up is a fourth round, box office clash with Carlos Alcaraz.
RE: Australian Open - Doddle - 17-01-2025 22:33
Blimey, well done him then.
RE: Australian Open - Snooks - 18-01-2025 02:59
Oh dear.
Poor Emma Raducanu.
Less said the better after a rather chastening loss to Iga Swiatek.
