“I can’t believe it. I want to say sorry I had to kick out a British player today. The atmosphere was incredible…,” Niemeier, playing only her second Grand Slam tournament said.
“I was nervous – as soon as I stepped on the court I felt pretty confident so I just tried to focus on my game and play point by point. It went well,” Niemeier said. The German will meet compatriot Tatjana Maria in the quarter-finals.
