Emma Raducanu beat Danka Kovinic 6-2, 6-3 at Indian Wells.

I was expecting a battle and I am just glad to get through. She went from 2-0 down to 4-2 up and needed just one of her three match points to put Kovinic away. The 20-year-old was playing for the first time on the WTA Tour in almost two months after being put out of this year's Aus Open by Coco Gauff in Melbourne. Yet there were few signs of rust as the 20-year-old won in straight sets. "I think we always play through pain and it's just a matter of how much can you take - I'm looking forward to hopefully being out there tomorrow." [Emma Raducanu](/latest/emma-raducanu) avenged her 2022 Australian Open defeat to Danka Kovinic by beating the Montenegrin 6-2, 6-3 at Indian Wells on Thursday night.

British player, still recovering from tonsillitis, showed determination to defeat Danka Kovinic in the first round.

Even as Raducanu increased her pace of shot in the second set, she continued to play high percentage tennis, lengthening points and refusing to miss in the wind, and was rewarded with a positive victory. In Indian Wells, while still recovering from her illness, Raducanu revealed that she is now suffering with the wrist problems that affected her at the end of last season, and as a result had spent minimal time on the practice court. After trailing 2-0 again, Raducanu recovered by returning well and pressuring Kovinic throughout the set with her depth. She immediately fell 2-0 down, but quickly adapted to the wind by opting to play with more margin, throwing up loopy topspin balls, grinding out errors from her opponent and limiting her own mistakes. Even the match-up with Kovinic was a reminder of her physical frailty. After starting her year with an ankle sprain in New Zealand and then taking time off after the Australian Open, she was forced to withdraw from the ATX Open in Austin two weeks ago after contracting tonsillitis.

A wrist injury and tonsillitis affected the 2021 US Open champion in the build-up, but her opponent did not put up much of a fight.

(Kovinic represented only her third victory of 2023, along with two defeats.) Saturday’s opponent, Magda Linette of Poland, stands at a career-best No 21 in the world, but that is based largely on a single tournament: her recent run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open. The main focus for Raducanu, though, is to achieve some momentum in a career that has barely got going again since she scored her mind-boggling US Open triumph 18 months ago. And then, when Kovinic found some belated timing after a bathroom break at the end of the first set, she recognised that she needed to push a little harder. In Australia, it was the limited movement caused by a sprained ankle. Raducanu’s 6-2, 6-3 victory over Danka Kovinic – the world No 62 from Montenegro – depended on her superior consistency on what was a gusty day in the Californian desert. Kovinic thus made for a disappointing opponent – just as Raducanu’s most recent victim Tamara Korpatsch had done in the first round of January’s Australian Open.
