Australian Open LIVE Results: Qualifier Taro Daniel outs Andy Murray, thrice Grand Slam champion, in second round

The 19-year-old British sensation was hampered by a blistered racket hand from early in the first set of a tense contest on Margaret Court Arena but showed great fighting spirit to stay in contention.

With her usually powerful forehand reduced to a slice, Raducanu let slip a 3-0 lead to lose the first set.

But she played on her 98th-ranked opponent’s nerves to break at 4-4 in the second and take the match into a decider.

Kovinic showed great composure to forge ahead in the deciding set, resist a Raducanu fightback, and then move 5-3 ahead as the British youngster finally looked a little weary.

A stunning backhand winner sealed victory for the 27-year-old Kovinic as she moved into the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time.

She had earlier faced former US Open champion Sloane Stephens in the first round and won 6-0, 2-6, 6-1 to register her first victory in the season-opening Grand Slam.

Her opponent meanwhile is the 27-year old from Montenegro, who has never gone past the second round in any major . She is currently ranked World No. 98. However she had a good run in 2021 by reaching the final of the WTA 500 event in Charleston and followed it up with a semi-final finish at the WTA 250 event in the same venue. But in the build-up to the Australian Open this year, she has first-round exits in both Melbourne and Adelaide.
