Our tennis player achieved her greatest success at the first Grand Slam of the season three years ago when she reached the third round, and this January she is coming to Australia as 1.289. tennis player of the world due to the fall that followed a long break due to injury.

On the other hand, Sun has played at the Australian Open only once - last year when she was eliminated in the first round.

Last year, the Dane returned to the field at the Olympic Games in Paris, and after that she played six matches, two of which she won. The girl who was once 46th on the WTA list can look for her chance against the current 44rd in the world, primarily because Sun arrived in Melbourne with five defeats in a row.

"Neither Danka nor I have played much lately, so I don't know what to expect from her. In any case, I will have to reveal everything during the match," Sun told New Zealand's "ODT".

The winner of this duel in the next round will play against the better of the duel Majar Šerif - Dajana Jastremska.
