Emma Raducanu may have the world at her feet, but the US Open champion has been warned about her on-court conduct.

Even though she overcame Sloane Stephens in the first round of the Australian Open, her opponent stated that 'she has a lot to learn'.

The British star beat the American on Tuesday, winning 6-0 2-6 6-1, claiming the first set in just 17 minutes.

In her post-match press conference, Stephens appeared to question Raducanu's on-court behaviour, particularly in the opening exchanges.

"Everyone saw after the first point she gave like a massive scream," the 2017 US Open champion said.

"Because she is so young it's definitely a long road, so there's going to be a lot of ups and downs. I think she, yeah, has just a lot to learn.

"I was talking to someone in the locker room and I'm like, 'We'll be here when she comes down'.

"Not Emma but just in general. It all is like a cycle, and I think learning how to deal with it early on is the best way to handle it.

"Just because there's always a lot of ups and downs in tennis."
