  1. Raducanu holds serve

    Raducanu 3-5 Gauff*

    A fine second serve from Emma Raducanu keeps her in contention in this set.

  2. *Raducanu 2-5 Gauff

    Unforced errors: Emma Raducanu - 18, Coco Gauff - 11.

    The Briton needs to cut those down quickly, and she makes a good start as she swiftly races into a 40-0 lead on serve following a couple of quality backhand winners.

  3. Raducanu serving to stay in set

    *Raducanu 2-5 Gauff

    So, after 30 minutes on Rod Laver Arena, Emma Raducanu must serve to stay in contention in the opening set.

  4. Gauff holds serve

    *Raducanu 2-5 Gauff

    A couple of misses from Emma Raducanu offer Coco Gauff the chance to close in on the set - and she's able to take it as Raducanu can't get a read on her serve.

  5. 'Tennis is all about Plan B'

    Raducanu 2-4 Gauff*

    CoCo Vandeweghe
    Two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist on Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Emma has to figure out how to not let a bad shot burn her twice. Being 0-30 down in the last two service games is a big hole to keep digging yourself out of.

    Tennis is all about how you handle Plan B. What is her alternative when she is being over-powered?

  6. Raducanu 2-4 Gauff*

    Plenty of unforced errors around in this opening set.

    Can Emma Raducanu make it four breaks of serve in a row on Rod Laver Arena?

    She makes her intentions clear with a backhand winner- and another from mid-court takes her to 15-30.

  7. Gauff breaks

    Raducanu 2-4 Gauff*

    Coco Gauff goes long as she tries to clinch the break at the earliest opportunity.

    Can Emma Raducanu survive another? No! A long forehand leaves her 4-2 behind in set one.

  8. Break points Gauff

    *Raducanu 2-3 Gauff

    The noises coming from the crowd on Rod Laver Arena tell you this has so far been the entertaining match we all hoped it would be.

    Coco Gauff goes after Emma Raducanu's serve and takes the first couple of points, and very quickly Raducanu must defend two break points after sending a forehand wide.

  9. 'Raducanu is going to be aggressive'

    *Raducanu 2-3 Gauff

    CoCo Vandeweghe
    Two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist on Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Any time Coco has thrown in a second serve Raducanu has been aggressive. She is setting the precedence that she is going to be aggressive.

  10. Raducanu breaks

    *Raducanu 2-3 Gauff

    And Emma Raducanu does get the break back!

    Coco Gauff, wary of Raducanu's fierce returns in this game, concedes with a double fault. That was a great response from the Briton.

  11. Gauff saves break point

    Raducanu 1-3 Gauff*

    Another error from Coco Gauff hands Emma Raducanu the chance to break back but the Briton fires wide with a backhand.

    She'll have a second chance now though...

  12. Raducanu 1-3 Gauff*

    Missed it! The ball hangs in the air for what must feel like an eternity for Coco Gauff and she can only plant a forehand into the net. Deuce.

  13. Raducanu 1-3 Gauff*

    Emma Raducanu goes in pursuit of an immediate response and a couple of winners get her off to a great start, but Coco Gauff takes her time to place a forehand after sending Raducanu scampering after a cross-court backhand for 30-30.

  14. Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Melbourne Park

    This is Emma Raducanu's first appearance on Rod Laver Arena and a lot of players say the conditions here are slower than the other courts.

    It was also interesting to hear Gauff - who has already played a couple of times a few times here - describe how you never get used to playing on Melbourne's show-court.

    Of course, stepping out on the world's biggest courts is not something which fazes Raducanu - as testified with her calm transition to playing Arthur Ashe Stadium in her US Open triumph.

  15. 'Raducanu second-guessing herself'

    Raducanu 1-3 Gauff*

    CoCo Vandeweghe
    Two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist on Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Emma is respecting Coco's speed a little too much. She is second guessing herself just a little bit.

    That was great resilience from Coco - we know that her backhand is deadly and she was able to just lean on that shot.

  16. Gauff breaks

    Raducanu 1-3 Gauff*

    Opportunity number two delivers the break point for Coco Gauff as Emma Raducanu falters on a backhand. The seventh seed lands the first blow.

  17. Break points Gauff

    *Raducanu 1-2 Gauff

    Yep, that'll be three break points for the American. Lots of work for Emma Raducanu to do here...

  18. *Raducanu 1-2 Gauff

    Frustration for Emma Raducanu as she goes for a winner on the forehand but just misses her target. Noises of approval among the crowd then greet a terrific cross-court backhand from Gauff, who may be able to create break points of her own here.

  19. 'Raducanu staying steady'

    *Raducanu 1-2 Gauff

    CoCo Vandeweghe
    Two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist on Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Emma is doing a great job right now of keeping herself steady on the baseline and not getting pushed back by Coco's shots.

    Coco can't just roll in second serves. She has to do something with them.

  20. Gauff holds serve

    *Raducanu 1-2 Gauff

    Another powerful serve from Coco Gauff completes the fightback from 15-40 down. It's already shaping up to be a great battle on Rod Laver Arena.
