The Swedish one Rebecca Peterson impressed in the Nordea Open and made it to the semifinals.

Once there, Peterson opened strongly against Olga Govortsova - but then the Belarusian came back and won 2-0 (6-3.6-4) in sets.

During the match, the Swede had back problems.

- But that was not the reason why I lost.

The reason was that I did not play tactically right, Peterson says to SVT Sport.

- I played too much on her terms.

Two days after the trip, the 25-year-old gives a happy answer about the haunting back injury.

- It is on the road to improvement and it will hopefully be good in the near future.

Is there anything worrying about the Olympics?

- Not right now.

"Fun to play at home"

Peterson thinks she had a good week with a lot of positives to bring.

- I got many good matches, she says and continues:

- It was very fun to play at home because I have not done it for a long time.

Before the competition in Båstad, the preparations went well.

Unlike before Wimbledon, where she got a stomach ache, she got the chance to get ready in time.

She is now at home in Stockholm and charging towards Thursday's departure for the Tokyo Olympics.

- Every match I can get is based on self-confidence and I look forward to the competitions that come.
