Andrea Petkovic struggled with her game, kept shouting loudly and hit her racket angrily on the blue hard court: For the 34-year-old from Darmstadt, the Australian Open ended after the first match. The former quarter-finalist from Melbourne had no chance at 2: 6, 0: 6 against the extremely solid French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova from the Czech Republic.

Petkovic had expressed great respect for the Krejcikova challenge, but looked forward to her 46th Grand Slam participation after "perfect preparation" with optimism. In the Kia Arena in Melbourne Park, however, little came together at the former world number ninth. Her first serve came too rarely, Petkovic made a lot of simple mistakes and cramped more and more.
