Emma Raducanu vs Tamara Korpatsch time: When does Australian Open match start?

Emma Raducanu opens her Australian Open campaign against Tamara Korpatsch after the 20-year-old British No 1 declared herself fit to play the first grand slam of the season despite a recent injury scare.

Raducanu rolled her ankle ASB Classic in Auckland last week but has stepped up her preparations on the practice court and said on the eve of the tournament: “It’s been a team effort to get me to this place. We’ve definitely expedited the process but I’m feeling really good and looking forward to getting out on the court.”

The former US Open champion faces the 27-year-old Korpatsch, who is ranked one place ahead of world number 75 Raducanu, in the opening round.

“She’s an awkward player, a bit tricky,” said Raducanu, who reached the second round on her Australian Open debut last year. “It’ll be a good challenge to get used to her style and play. It’ll be a good test for me to see where I’m at.”

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the first-round match.
