Emma Raducanu has been knocked out of Indian Wells after losing her round-of-32 tie in three sets to Croatia's Petra Martic.

Yet the opportunity was squandered - and Martic went on to win the first of two match points on her opponent's serve, wrapping up a 7-5 set victory and a meeting with world No 28 Liudmila Samsonova in the next round. Raducanu's first loss of serve came as early as the third game of the match, but she recovered to draw level at 3-3 and went on to triumph in the eventual tiebreak. Martic hit back in the second set, taking it 6-4 to draw level and then went on to break her opponent's serve at the start of the decider.

“I think it’s a positive that she’s on tour and she’s going to be consistently on tour now, that’s what we need to keep on talking about, she needs time in this environment and just that consistent time in this environment – it’ll all go into the bank of experience." World No. 13 Emma Raducanu didn't impress in Australia but former British No. 1 Johanna Konta thinks the 19-year-old should look at her first Australian Open as a positive experience. However, Konta doesn't see it as concerning.

"I always have nothing to lose - especially at these events. The margins were so small." I couldn't really drive up and I was kind of struggling to turn and reach.

Emma Raducanu faltered when serving for the match as Petra Martic fought back to win a topsy-turvy match at Indian Wells and reach the last 16.

But instead of prompting a swift exit, it fired Raducanu up and she began to showcase the aggression that carried her to the US Open title, capturing a break-back point with a bruising cross-court forehand. But the errors on serve refused to vanish. Now it was Martic struggling and when she crumbled on serve at 4-4, Raducanu suddenly had the chance to serve out the match – only for her own serve to desert her as the Croatian broke back at the third opportunity.

Andy Murray also suffered a frustrating defeat on Sunday, failing to take six break points against Alexander Bublik in straight-sets defeat.

A little remedial work on the serve, and she could be back in business. Martic found inspiration in the critical game and then broke for a second straight time to take the 2hr 46min victory. Rather, she was hanging on with the last of her strength. Her mental game will perhaps be questioned, given that she has now served for the match in both her last two losses. It was the same story on Sunday: that figure was down from 68mph on both wings to 65mph. And though she was only two points away from victory against Martic, serving for the match at 5-4 in the third set, this tournament will go down as another missed opportunity.
