HOBART WTA
When rain delayed play on Monday Emma Raducanu led Osorio by 6'3, 2'4 with Osorio seeming to make a better challenge in the 2nd set. However, the match ended with Emma winning 6'3, 7'6(2) so a good comeback by the Brit.

Raducanu got a w/o in the R16 because Frech withdrew.

In the 1/4 Finals:-
Emma, WR29 and top seed, will play Taylah Preston, AUS WR 204.

Emma loses in two to a player ranked 204

I am just glad Emma is back playing again after not playing cos of a foot injury. The player she lost to was an Australian who would probably have had the crowd behind her.
