“I really enjoyed it, it was a nice experience to play against Emma here and make my first appearance in a third round of a Grand Slam after many years,” Kovinic said.
She added: “To be honest, I didn’t even see the second round.
“I first just wanted to go through my first round which was really tough and then it was just regular preparation like every match.
“She had amazing result winning a Grand Slam at such a young age.
“Such a talent. It was a nice experience and I’m glad I could show that I can play at a high level so hopefully I can continue.”
