MELBOURNE: Caroline Wozniacki refused to be rushed into retirement on Wednesday as the former world number one fought back from 5-1 down in the first set to beat Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska 7-5 7-5 in the second round of the Australian Open.
"I was just, like, it's coming really fast at me. She's not making a lot of mistakes. I'm not getting depth on the ball," Wozniacki told reporters. "All of a sudden I kept getting one point after another and started getting the belief that I could get that set."She found herself 3-0 down in the second set, too, but again rallied before converting her sixth match point to seal the win over 23rd seed Yastremska at the Margaret Court Arena.
Yastremska took a medical timeout and had her left thigh taped while down 5-4 in the second set but Wozniacki did not let her focus waver.
