Emma Raducanu v Wang Yafan live stream | Australian Open preview, H2H and betting tips

Emma Raducanu looks to reach the Australian Open third round for the first time when she locks horns with Wang Yafan on Thursday.

The former US Open champion is out to break new ground in Melbourne as she aims to continue building momentum following her return from injury.

Back in grand slam action for the first time in a year after qualifying for the tournament as a wildcard, Raducanu was a straight-sets winner over Shelby Rogers in the opening round.

Meanwhile Wang – also looking to reach round three of the Australian Open for the first time – also notched up an impressive win in round one.

Indeed, the 29-year-old came from behind to defeat 22nd seed Sorana Cirstea 0-6, 7-5, 6-2.

The match gets under way from around 3.30am GMT (2.30pm local time) on 1573 Arena, with either Katie Boulter or Qinwen Zheng awaiting the winner in the third round.

Emma Raducanu v Wang Yafan prediction

With both players looking to reach uncharted territory in Melbourne, we can expect a closely fought contest here.

Both also have momentum following impressive first-round victories.

But the youth of Raducanu, who will be determined to make up for lost time after what seems like an endless battle against injuries since her fairy-tale US Open triumph, may just have the edge.
