Emma Raducanu is out of the Australian Open after China’s Yafan Wang beat her in three sets as the Briton struggled with sickness at the end of the match.
Raducanu, who made her return to tennis two weeks ago after missing most of the 2023 season to have three surgeries, had fought back from a set and a break down to force a deciding set.
But she struggled physically and Wang took advantage to win 6-4 4-6 6-4 and go through to the third round.
There is now no more British representation in the women’s singles.
The 21-year-old had come into the tournament stating she was a “better player” than before her surgeries and looked good in her straight-sets win over Shelby Rogers in the first round.
However, she will be concerned about her fitness and the lack of power from her forehand which was a big strength when she won the 2021 US Open title.
