Australian Open 2018: Caroline Wozniacki recovers to beat Jana Fett

Caroline Wozniacki won six successive games as she recovered to take the final set

Second seed Caroline Wozniacki fought back from two match points down to beat world number 119 Jana Fett in the Australian Open second round.

The Dane, 27, won 3-6 6-2 7-5 in two hours and 31 minutes, having been 5-1 down in the final set.

After saving the match points on Fett's serve, Wozniacki won six successive games to seal a place in the last 32.

"That was crazy, I don't know how I got back into the match," said a relieved Wozniacki.

"I'm very proud of the way I came back. It was definitely very difficult. Definitely wasn't my best match, especially in the beginning.

"All of a sudden seeing myself down, almost out of the tournament, I started playing better and started really playing the tennis that I wanted to play."

When asked if she could go further after two straight-set wins, she said: "I dream step by step. For sure, many beautiful things are coming."
