Emma Raducanu made a winning start to 2023 with a victory over the Czech Republic's rising star Linda Fruhvirtova in the opening round of the ASB Classic here on Tuesday.

Raducanu registered a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win in a rain-affected match at ASB Tennis Centre. The Briton dropped her first set to the 17-year-old Czech player but she won four games on the trot to change the momentum and wrapped up the match.
