The British number one is warming up for next week's Australian Open and chose to head to Tasmania for some time on the court, having lost her only match in last week's United Cup in Perth.

She made a good start against Colombian Camila Osorio, taking the first set before rain interrupted the second.

The inclement weather came at a good time for Raducanu, who is the top seed in the tournament, as she was up against an Osorio fightback.
