Jodie Burrage, who secured her first-ever victory in the Australian Open first round, became emotional after the match. The win sets her up for a challenging showdown against Coco Gauff.
Burrage, once ranked as British No. 2, had contemplated quitting tennis last year due to wrist and ankle ligament injuries. Following the win, she expressed her intention to take a “free swing” and aim to “do some damage” in the upcoming match against Gauff.
