Australian Open – Day Three: Live scores, game-by-game updates and results as Emma Raducanu progresses, as Alex De Miñaur and Katie Boulter get going

So, it looked like Emma Raducanu had made some alterations to her serve game heading into the Australian Open this week.

The British star got off to a good start in her tournament this afternoon, beating Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6, 7-6.

Although she had to fight hard in the match, the 22-year-old played her best tennis to overcome Alexandrova in both tiebreaks.

But after making some adjustments, Raducanu seemed to struggle with his service game, double faulting 15 times.

Mail Sport's Matthew Lambert sums up the British star's great start.

Emma Raducanu spoke after her victory about the changes she made to her service game ahead of the Australian Open.

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure what I changed in my service today. I think it had a mind of its own…

I'll be sure to reflect, look at that, and get back to you.

Raducanu would commit 15 double faults, and while his percentage points won on his first serve stood at a solid 67 percent, his return on his second serve was much lower at 30 percent.

I think in the first set I made a lot of good first serves. I got some aces. At the same time he committed (many) double faults.

I think as the balls got heavier it was a lot harder. As I think more kept coming, it wasn't easy to refocus, but I knew that even if I was down, I would reap big benefits. It was good to be able to rely on other parts of my game today that I know are pretty strong.

I'm very proud that I didn't let that affect me too much and let the game get away from me.

Good afternoon (or good morning if you wake up in the UK)!

It's a hot day here in Melbourne, it's 26ºC but it feels much hotter out there.

In my travels this morning I've seen fans running through sprinklers and long lines in front of the peach ice cream stand next to the Kia Arena.

It's been a busy day on the court too!

British fans will be excited to know that Emma Raducanu advanced to the second round of the Australian Open, beating Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6, 7-6.

We also have some big matches later today with newly engaged couple Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur in action!

But first, let's recap Emma Raducanu's win today… here's the moment she took the win!
