Emma Raducanu started with a victory in this 2026 Australian Open after defeating the Thai player Mananchaya Sawangkaew by 6-4, 6-1. Following this debut, the British player reiterated her refusal to play at night and in the late slots of the day: "I am a night owl, but I prefer to do other things than play a tennis match. I have been trying to train to be better at night. Like last night, I practiced until late, and it's good to feel the day. For me, half of the battle, honestly, is how to organize the day, when to activate and when to disconnect. I have gone through several tests to see what works and what doesn't. Today I felt very good before the match. It helped that the previous match didn't last long. I didn't go to bed very late," stated the 29th-ranked WTA player, who will face Anastasia Potapova in the second round.
