This weekend, the 24-year-old made the process short in the finals as she drove over 69-ranked Kazakh Elena Rybakina in the Jiangxi Open. Peterson got a ride on the rank and climbed to 52nd place after the success.
But a nagging foot stops her this week where she would have met Ukrainian world trainer Jelina Svitolina. But now she is aiming for games at the end of the week.
“I have had left foot pain during the week and decided to withdraw from this week's competition in order not to create anything long-term, and risk the rest of the season that remains. It should be good within a day. I am betting on playing in Wuhan now on Friday, ”she says.
You have had some problems with your left foot a few times during the season, is there anything to worry about in the future?
"Right now we are well under control, so that is the most important thing."
