MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Iga Swiatek hopes the new blue headphones she received for Christmas will deliver the right tunes to keep her advancing in the Australian Open after she defeated first-time opponent Katerina Siniakova on Monday.
The 23-year-old said a blast of Australian rockers AC/DC had helped get her in the mood for her solid but unconvincing 6-3 6-4 win over Czech Siniakova in their first-round clash on John Cain Arena.
