In press conference at the Australian Open after her three-set win over , previewed the upcoming match between the world No. 1 Simona Halep and the 23-time Major winner .
Pliskova expects a great fight from two great players: For sure the best match now in the draw, in the tournament, said the Czech. I think its going to be challenging for everybody, for both of them, of course, because they didnt play.
When was the last time when they played? What I saw a little bit here and there, I saw Serena was playing quite good this week. She didnt have any very top players, but she was playing good. I felt shes confident pretty much.
Shes going to put a lot of pressure on Simona, for sure. Look, Simona came back, I dont know, the second round when she was losing. Its good to have matches like this. To win the tournament, sometimes you have to go through these matches.
I dont think anybody can really win a Grand Slam without losing a set, fighting back from some tough moments. I think Simona can be dangerous. For sure shes not going to give up. She beat Venus today. Thats probably going to give her some confidence, too.
I think its open. Of course, Serena is dangerous. Shes playing well. Sometimes you cannot do much. Its going to be open, but for sure a good match. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
