Emma Raducanu's campaign at the 2026 Australian Open ended in the second round with a 7-6(3), 6-2 defeat to Anastasia Potapova. The British No. 1 had led 5-3 in the first set but faltered under pressure. Former champion Andy Roddick urged her to play more and demand greater results from herself.
After a second-round exit at the Australian Open, Emma Raducanu is set to compete as the top seed at the Transylvania Open in Romania. The British player will face Greet Minnen in her opening match from February 1-7. Raducanu recently parted ways with her coach Francis Roig.
