Defending US Open champion Emma Raducanu was knocked out of the Australian Open in the second round on Thursday as she struggled with blisters on her serving hand. The 19-year-old, playing in her first major draw at Melbourne Park, was on the right track as she took a 3-0 lead in the opening set against Montenegro’s Danka Kovinic. But the Briton needed medical time for treatment on his right hand and was unable to stop Kovinic from winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
