THAI-BREAKER Raducanu was boosted by vocal encouragement from a supporter

EMMA RADUCANU turned things around to seal a 6-4 6-1 victory over Thailand's Mananchaya Sawangkaew with the help of a vocal fan.

One Aussie inside Margaret Court Arena cheered for “Rado” throughout the 71-minute match, telling her: “Big serve and big forehand, that's your strengths.”

And the British No.1 (below) was so thrilled with the support that she invited the fan to her matches.

“Never heard that before. Pretty original,” she said of her new nickname.
