The British number one and top seed had been 4-2 down in the second set on Tuesday when rain forced an early end to play in Tasmania.

Returning on Wednesday serving at deuce, Raducanu looked sharp and determined, and she wrapped up a 6-3 7-6 (2) win.

With scheduled second-round opponent Magdalena Frech withdrawing through injury, Raducanu will next meet Australian Taylah Preston in the quarterfinal today.
