Medvedev meltdown!

Raducanu gets the win – despite service struggles


Showtime!

Norrie: ‘I barely practised’
I haven’t been able to prepare as well as I could. I’ve been pretty sick in Auckland, then coming here. Just barely practised.
Honestly, I’ve been feeling the ball so well. Pre-season was excellent. It was a bit unfortunate with the timing. I definitely gave myself the best chance. Just hit the wall after like an hour and a bit. I was not able to stay sharp on court.
It’s disappointing. Yeah, It is what it is. Most importantly just to get my health back to 100 per cent and get some rest. Just tough to sustain that today.


What do pro tennis players eat before a match?
It’s a very early wake-up call. I think for me I struggle to eat when I open my eyes first thing.
I actually was pretty light this morning. I just had some berries and a coffee before I practiced. After practice, I just had toast, like plain toast with honey and a banana. Pure carb-loading.
I couldn’t stomach some rice and salmon. I’ll be sure after this to get my salmon and take in for the day!

Raducanu: ‘My serve had a mind of its own!’
Yeah, honestly I’m not sure what I changed in my serve today. I think it had a mind of its own…
I will be sure to reflect, look at that and come back to you.
I think in the first set I was hitting a lot of good first serves. I hit a few aces. At the same time I was hitting a [lot of] double faults.
I think as the balls got heavier it was a lot more difficult. As I think more kept coming it was not easy to refocus but I knew that even if I was down, I have great returns. It was good to be able to rely on other parts of my game today that I know are quite strong.
I’m just very proud that I didn’t let it affect me too much and let the match run away from me.

It’s a hot day here at Melbourne Park!
