The Swedish star has played some fine tennis this season. She did not have a great time at the Australian Open as she lost in the first round of qualifying. In an ITF event in the USA in February, Peterson finished runner-up. She had a chance to win her third WTA singles title at the Merida Open. However, Peterson lost to Camila Giorgi in the final.

The 27-year-old played a couple of qualifying matches to get through to the main draw. In the first round, she comprehensively defeated Simona Waltert in straight sets 6-3, 6-1. In the second round of qualifying, Peterson had to dig deep to defeat Caroline Dolehide 7-5, 7-6.

The 20-year-old has shown her talent to the tennis world in 2023. She began with a run to the quarterfinals in the Adelaide International 1. In the Adelaide International 2, Kostyuk was ousted in the first round of qualifying. She played well in the Australian Open and made it to the third round for the third time in the first Grand Slam of the year. Kostyuk followed it up with a run to the quarterfinals of the Thailand Open. She couldn’t go beyond the second round in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
