Olsson beat Brazilian Daniel Rodrigues 6-3.6-2 in 76 minutes.
- It was perfectly okay to be a first round even if I did not get up to my aggressive pace.
It was important to get a lot of ball into Rodrigues who misses quite a lot and he did that today.
It was a good match tactically but there is much more to give and I hope to find it for the next round, Olsson says to SVT Sport.
Olsson waited for the second bounce and placed a forehand hard, Rodrigues could not lift the ball, and decided the match in front of empty stands.
