Niemeier is the only remaining German individual player at the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.
“I knew it was going to be an extremely difficult match. The fact that I was able to win it without losing a set is something very positive. I should take a lot of self-confidence from that,” said Niemeier: “Now it’s against a great player, I’m happy about that on it.”
The dynamic and powerful Dortmund player, who reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon two months ago, will meet world number one Iga Swiatek in the round of the top 16. The Pole had recently won 6: 3, 6: 4 against Lauren Davis from the USA.
For Niemeier, it is only the third Grand Slam tournament in her career. After the event, which has already been very successful for her, she will make a big leap forward in the world rankings from currently 108th place.
