(Reuters) - Winning a couple of matches at the Australian Open would be a good outcome for Britain's teenage U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu, according to former world number one Justine Henin.

The 19-year-old Raducanu shot to stardom last September when, as a qualifier, she stormed to the title at Flushing Meadows, becoming Britain's first female Grand Slam champion since Virginia Wade in 1977.
