Emma Raducanu - Australian Open

I would have thought blisters are part and parcel - surely a few plasters should give her enough relief to win through.

Plasters and tape give relief but they come away after a short while. Yes they may be part and parcel of sport but in a game of fine margins they can make a difference. Clearly it is hampering her but she is hanging on in there.
 
Murray out.

Raducanu can’t hit through her forehand. Clearly in pain.
Yep. She is “chopping” through her forehands with some success but if that’s all she can do on her right hand side it’s a disadvantage. Kovinic wisely playing to it constantly and knows her opponent can only play a short reply in the forehand.
 
Am wincing everytime she is forced to take on a full forehand. Clearly a fully operative 100% Raducanu would see her opponent off but I cant see her winning this despite being up in the second.
