Emma Raducanu is hopeful of being fit for next week’s Australian Open but taking it “a day at a time” in her recovery from an ankle injury.

The British number one was in tears on Thursday after rolling her left ankle during a second-round match with Viktoria Kuzmova at the ASB Classic in Auckland.
