MELBOURNE, Jan 19 — American qualifier Katie Volynets said Thursday she had “chills” after sending world number nine Veronika Kudermetova tumbling out of the Australian Open to win consecutive Tour-level matches for the first time in her career.
Kudermetova, contesting her first major as a top-10 player, had reached the quarter-finals or better at her past five tournaments. “It gives me chills, because the fans here are just incredible,” said Volynets, ranked 113 and facing a top-10 player for the first time. Kudermetova was broken five times and made 47 unforced errors to Volynets’ 28, with the American crediting new coach Henner Nehles for making a huge difference to her game.
