Emma Raducanu believes she has "nothing to lose" as she prepares for a clash against former world No 1 Iga Swiatek in the third round of the Australian Open.

Raducanu overcame back issues to defeat big-hitting Amanda Anisimova 6-3 7-5 and reach the last 32 for the first time in Melbourne.

The 22-year-old is back in the third round of a hard court Grand Slam for the first time since winning the US Open in 2021.
