Britain's stars shine bright at Open
Cheltenham Festival preview with Farringdon: Day four
JODIE BURRAGE admitted she was walking on air today after what she rated as one of the best wins of her career at the Australian Open.
The 25-year-old Brit said before the tournament that she considered quitting the sport a couple of months ago, however she’s ecstatic now that she’s tasted victory for the first time in Melbourne Park, with a 6-2 6-4 success against French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean.
It was Burrage’s first match at a grand slam since a first-round defeat here last year, after suffering a wrist injury in February that needed surgery before rupturing an ankle ligament just as she was about to make her comeback.
