Emma Raducanu overcame second-serve wobbles to start her 2025 season with a scrappy win in the Australian Open first round.
The British number two, whose preparations were disrupted by a back injury, won 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-2) against Russian 26th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.
While hitting well from the baseline, Raducanu was hampered by double faults and lost serve six times.
