Emma Raducanu is happy to comply with whatever demands are made of players competing in the Australian Open but shrugged off suggestions she will be among the favourites for the trophy.
The 18-year-old returned to training in London this week as she turns her attention to building on her spectacular grand slam breakthrough victory at the US Open.
She is yet to announce when she will play next but must decide in the coming days whether to request a wild card into the prestigious WTA Tour event in Indian Wells beginning on October 6.
Unlike her final opponent in New York, Leylah Fernandez, Raducanu did not have to beat a top-10 player at Flushing Meadows, with then world number 12 Belinda Bencic the highest-ranked player she has faced in her career so far.
The teenager is eager to test herself against the likes of Ashleigh Barty and Naomi Osaka, saying: "I'm hungry to play anyone and I think that would be a really cool challenge.
"I like to challenge myself and obviously it's going to be extremely difficult to beat a top-10 player or a player of that quality but I'm up for it and, even if I lose, I think it'd be a great learning (opportunity) just to compare where I'm at to where the best in the world are. So either way for me it would be a win-win."
