Rebecca Peterson aims for the best After Wimbledon, the 22-year-old reached his highest ranking in the world rankings – 71.
Vilade for seven months
Until 2016, everything went to the Then he stopped, and an arm in his right arm rested for seven months.
– J & # 39; I played with him for three months. I was stupid to keep playing when I would have really rested if I had done it maybe it did not last that long.
But the race event was the beginning of a collaboration with former Robin Söderling striker Ali Ghelem, who she thanks for the success that came this year.
– I was in the gym everyday and drove with my Ali. He counted a lot for me, especially during this period.
Slitet gave results. At the beginning of the year she was ranked 196th in the world, today she is 71st and best Swedish.
USA and Asia this fall
A higher ranking, of course, offers better conditions and easier selection of the competitions that she wants to play. In early August, Rebecca Peterson travels to the United States to compete in the US Open.
She wishes, of course, to have the opportunity to show herself at home. But the WTA competition in Båstad is currently closed
– it's obviously very boring because it's special to play at home and Båstad has been a special competition.
– At the same time, I personally think that it would be fun something related to the Stockholm Open because there are so many races in the summer and a little less at the beginning and at the end of the year
Gathers Dad's Salary

– I do not think there are many who understand how much you spend, how much you spend. This is not because you are better ranked than you have less expenses, rather more. The more we save, the more we become free, we have the opportunity to do things that we can not have otherwise.
For Petersons, it is above all to have one's own hotel room when it is and
– Me and my father, for example, when we travel, we share rooms to have a lower cost and maybe not quite optimal. But at the same time, it's what you need to do to make it work. Dad is my full time coach so his pay depends on me too.
