Emma Raducanu has allayed any fears about her fitness before making a Grand Slam comeback at the Australian Open.

The 21-year-old Briton returned to competitive action in Auckland last week after eight months out following operations on her wrists and ankle.

Raducanu pulled out of two exhibition matches in Melbourne this week but has practised.

"For a few days after the matches I was sore but I've bounced back from that and I'm feeling good now," she said.

Raducanu is playing in the first Grand Slam of the 2024 season using an injury-protected ranking of 103rd in the world.
