Overview
- Emma Raducanu beat Camila Osorio 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) in Hobart after the match resumed following a rain suspension with Raducanu up a set but trailing 4-2 in the second.
- The victory is her first match win since September and comes with her installed as the tournament’s top seed.
- Raducanu said "These ones mean so much" and described the contest as very difficult after multiple stoppages and an overnight pause.
- She will face Poland’s Magdalena Frech in the second round after Frech defeated Elsa Jacquemot.
- The result offers momentum before the Australian Open, where she is slated to be the No. 28 seed following an illness-hit 2025 and a preseason foot issue.
