Thus, the Swede is ready for the second round of the grand slam tournament.
Rebecca Petersen herself tells Radiosporten after the match that she is most pleased that she stuck to her plan.
- I could play the whole match on my terms, and that makes me very happy, says the 26-year-old.
- My game is very much about me controlling with my forehand, taking control and being aggressive, Peterson continues and she explains that she also tries to respond a lot with her backhand.
- That I could answer in that way, I'm actually most satisfied with today.
93-ranked
Peterson, who became a professional in 2012 and was ranked 43rd best in 2019, directly qualified for the Australian Open.
She is currently ranked 93rd in the world.
On Tuesday, the only Swede on the men's side, Mikael Ymer, will also play his first match in the prestigious tournament.
But he is learning to get tough when he faces the Greek world four Stefanos Tsitsipas.
