Emma Raducanu was handed the worst grand slam defeat of her career on Saturday, dumped out of the Australian Open by Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-0. The only person who troubled Swiatek on this day in reality was Marija Cicak,

It was a year of frequent coaching changes for Raducanu. Having won the U.S. Open with Andrew Richardson, she replaced him with Torben Beltz just two months after winning the title.
