Emma Raducanu vs Yafan Wang start time: When is Australian ...

Emma Raducanu takes on Yafan Wang in the second round of the Australian Open after making an impressive start to her grand slam comeback.

The 21-year-old defeated Shelby Rogers 6-3 6-2 for her first grand slam win in 12 months on Tuesday and has a good opportunity to reach the third round against the world 94 Wang.

Raducanu, who has not reached the third round of a grand slam since winning the US Open in 2021, will hope to build on her opening performance at Melbourne Park.

The former British No 1 believes she is in a good place after reuniting with childhood coach Nick Cavaday, who she first worked with as a 10-year-old.

"I think it’s pretty calm now," Raducanu said. "It’s nice to be with Nick, feel very comfortable there. Just all aspects really of my life I feel like are calming down and settled.” Here’s everything you need to know.

Raducanu will face China’s Wang Yafan on Thursday morning UK time. Raducanu’s match has been scheduled third on the 1573 Arena, with the day’s play starting on the outside court at 12am GMT.

Raducanu’s match will follow two other British players, with men’s No 1 Cameron Norrie first in action against Italian qualifier Giulio Zeppieri.

Women’s No 1 Katie Boulter then faces a tough test against 12th seed Qinwen Zheng, with the winner of that match playing the winner of Raducanu’s tie with Wang in the third round.

Raducanu could therefore expect to be on court anytime between 4am and 6am GMT - although it is entirely dependent on the previous matches involving Norrie and Boulter.
