In the second round against Emma Navarro, the former US Open Champion will compete against the top 10 against IGA Swiadek in the third round Australian Open.

“It will be an extremely challenging game,” said Raducanu in her interview on the pitch. “It is probably in a better form, so I can express myself and try to fight every point.”

In the former Miami appearances of Raducanu, the Briton fell into the second round in 2022 in a few Barnburner-against Katerina Siniakova and in the first round in 2023 to Bianca Andreescu. There were no such turns and twists against Ishii. The Japanese teenager, who has improved from No. 381 to her current No. 188 in the last 12 months, contested her third WTA main role after reaching the Tokyo quarter -finals on Heimboden last October.

Ishii showed her potential at an early stage with a few difficult forehand, but Raducanu reacted with an almost flawless serving display and hit six aces over the game. Ishii could not maintain the accuracy of its early aggression and made a total of 24 casual errors.

Mboko brings a hot shape with a style on tour.

Victoria Mboko, who annoy an enthusiastic three-rierer threereirer threereir-triangle-triangle-sorio with 7: 5, 5-7, 6-3 in 2 hours and 32 minutes, was a joy for another wild card in teen age.

The 18-year-old Canadian was in a hot form at ITF level in 2025. In the Caribbean, Georgia, England and Portugal, she has already collected five titles, and her overall record is now 28: 1. Her match with Osorio in 162 was a test of how this level would be against one of the best -known fighters of the tour to the WTA level. Mboko passed with Bravour Colors and achieved both her first top 100 victory and her Maiden-WTA-Main-Draw victory (after she had lost against Rebecca Marino in her debut at Granby 2022).

Turns and twists are available throughout the game. Superb, which closes both wings, led Mboko to a 5-2 lead, but she needed five setpoint points to close it when Osorio bravely clung. In the second set, it was Mboko who held back Osorio from an early separation and won the point of the game, a brilliant cat-and-mouse exchange, which she ended with a emphasis on the way. But the Colombian was stuck to force a decision.

To recover from these fluctuations in the third set was proof of MBOKOS strength, as well as her ability to hold Osorio in the home route. Mboko had a point that could lead 4: 1, only for the world No. 54 to refuse them and play with 3: 3. In her time, Osorio has deducted many great refugees and conjured up a number of skillful drop shots when she tried to train Mboko.

But the boy rose again to 5: 3 and sealed an unforgettable victory at her first match point when a backhand from Osorio was simply wide. MBOKO will compete against a top -20 player for the first time in her career, as she will take in the second round against Paula Badosa No. 10 against Paula Badosa.
