Winning a couple of matches at the Australian Open would be a good outcome for Britain's teenage U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu, according to former world number one Justine Henin.
The 19-year-old Raducanu shot to stardom last September when, as a qualifier, she stormed to the title at Flushing Meadows, becoming Britain's first female Grand Slam champion since Virginia Wade in 1977.
"If she was to win two matches at the Australian Open it would be very good for her," 2004 Australian Open champion Henin, an analyst for broadcaster Eurosport during the Melbourne fortnight, told Reuters. Seven-time Grand Slam champion Henin said she finds it hard to imagine how Raducanu has managed her incredible breakthrough.
"But this happened very quickly for Emma. But I was very impressed how she played at the U.S. Open. It was fresh. We needed that, a charismatic girl playing good tennis and dealing with the situation. It was unbelievable and it gave me a lot of emotions. But she couldn't think she would have to live that at such an early stage at her career."
