Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu | Round One | Australian Open 2025 Highlights 🇦🇺

[@andrewmark2783]

Amazing that the score was so close and yet Alexanderova apparently won no points.

[@Smudgerio]

Most of her points were from Raducanu double faults. They don’t make much of a highlight.

[@Aurorjosem]

@@Smudgerio so Raducanu did 15 double faults and Alexandrova won 88 points in total. I guess that there must be something to highlight among the other 73 points that she won but someone make the decision to not put it c:

Was just about to say the same thing, congrats Emma it's not her fault but come on eurosport wow.

[@jamesburne3893]

I’d rather just watch Emma in good flow. Nothing better!

[@angusturner580]

Hopefully the start of a solid season ahead free of injuries!

[@danguee1]

Ah, bless you - how many times have you thought that before? As long as Emma keeps thinking she's some kind of messiah and thinks she knows better than her team, she'll keep making strategic mistakes about her tennis.

[@5mini5]

I hope you are right but unfortunately she was pretty bad as I watched the full match. Double figures double faults and 30+ unforced errors. To progress she needs much higher quality tennis. She only won this because Alexandrova was dire too.

[@stevenkenyon6903]

Well done Emma! It's not easy to beat a seed after missing your warm-up tournament - great R1 win!

[@alexiosiliadis5077]

If one didn't see the score, they would say Raducanu won by 6-0, 6-0. It's unacceptable not to show a single winning point from the opponent. Such bias

@hober522 I can understand that such videos have to highlight the winner's best moments but again I think it's disrespectful not to show st least one winning point from the opponent player.

Sadly... I agree... And I'm a huge Radders fan... this is why I prefer watching live...

[@roboshea]

I can't see Raducanu getting too far with this level of play. But it is hard to deny that she has excellent instinct and resolve on important points.

[@omabdulgani]

Emma is a tidy player, but she doesn't have the serve, or the power to trouble the top players.

@@markrichardson3798 I wasn't being sarcastic.

[@markrichardson3798]

@ i know and thats exactky where your issue is. Anyone can beat anyone on any given day in tennis. To just say someone can’t beat someone because of a serve or power is completely ludicrous. Tennis is a game of the mind more than anything else. The reason Serena won so much because of the intimidation factor. I think your narrow minded power game of tennis is something you should ponder.

[@Alan-J-Mock]

Okay its just brief highlights but one thing to notice with ER in this match is how well she played the whole court making her opponent work so hard, stretching from one side back and forth, deep and mid-court over and over - she didn't do that last year and it was frustrating to watch, and plus her injuries of course, so she struggled. Big improvement methinks.

[@2smoulder]

Emma has always been fierce on tie breaks and so it proved to be once again when it mattered. I wish her only good thoughts for the next round against Amanda who is beatable too. 🤟

[@hertor8803]

Amanda will be a tougher proposition. Raducanu will need to serve better.

[@krzysztofg2096]

@hertor8803 Anisimova will eat Raducanu for brekfast if she will play like today:))))))

[@2smoulder]

@ It will be close either way.

[@trufaithmax]

bella vittoria di Emma contro una testa di serie! Ha fatto 30 unforced ma 15 sono Doppi Falli, per cui se migliora il servizio dovrebbe farne pochi e con pochi errori e tanti vincenti si va lontano

[@ciarankelly4338]

Like to see Raducanu do well in the tournament as she has had a lot of injuries- Irish fan!

[@robertmartin7594]

Where are the clueless randoms who suggested had EKAT not been sick she would have beaten EMMA in 1st round WIMBY 2024 !!

[@nizver]

If you look at extended highlights you can see how ridden with unforced errors this match was. Yes Emma played a bit better but Alexandrova was really off. But let’s see if Emma can play better in next rounds and stay physically strong enough.

[@Kugann]

why do these highlights now show set points? especially in 3 set matches

[@p_sg3449]

She's a competent volleyer. She should come to the net more often like Sabalenka and Swiatek do.

[@anthonyholdford4041]

She'll have to serve better if she wants to go deep into the tournament.15 double fault's in 2 sets.Her first serve percentage has to improve as her 2nd serve is very week & will get punished by the better players.Hope she can stay healthy as she's very injury prone.If she can get to the quarters I think she'll be satisfied with that.The inconsistency let's her down as she's got the talent to do better than she does.🎾

Well done Emma x Talented

[@Leychel72]

I ended up switching the match off half way through the first set. (It was after 1am in the UK tho.) But the match just did not get going. Too many errors from both players and it wasn’t enjoyable to watch. Pleased ER won but she’ll need to serve better and have less unforced errors in the next rounds if she wants to make it into the 2nd week. Impressive points ER won today tho were definitely in the tie-breaks. She’s so clutch under pressure.

[@pompolini3607]

You could show at least one point from Alexandrova...

If alexandrova did so many games, why in this highlight all the shots belong to Raducanu ?

[@twotonetedfromteddingtone4584]

Unbalanced highlights are getting a feature. In fact Eurosport highlights are a big disappointment in general

Alexandrova tactics were awful, she played everything cross court, Emma was just waiting there to finish down the line, time and time again.

[@austinbig4570]

Must get the second serve sorted, great come back from lost winning positions, it's amazing with all the tools she has, she still has to work so hard to win ...!? Well done 👍🏻

[@jdevlin1910]

Offence is great, varied range of shots, lots of power - Defence not so much, still gives up on points too easily, is caught out of position. Work to do but the base has always been there.

[@austinbig4570]

@jdevlin1910 yep, it seems she can easily win these games, but stuck in crucial points and making it hard, such great shots she has...

[@crazycatpetera1404]

@@jdevlin1910 Yeah I agree - her tennis IQ is very high, her technique on her strokes is very good and so is her footwork. She can generate power when she chooses to go after the ball, but at the moment she’s too inconsistent with her fitness and often drops the ball short, but that can built over time. People need to give her a break, if people would simply allow her to develop.. in a couple of years she’ll be a very complete player.

[@jdevlin1910]

@@crazycatpetera1404 Oh 100% she's 22! If not for the US Open win expectations and attention would be far more appropriately scaled. Even her early prime is a way off (fitness allowing, fingers crossed).
