It was sweet revenge for the Thai, who lost 6-4 6-2 to the Swede in a 2014 Fed Cup World Group II playoff. It’s great to be in the second round of a Grand Slam again,” said Luksika. In the first set, Luksika drew first blood by unleashing a forehand cross-court winner that kissed the line. She saved a break point in the next game with a backhand winner before the Swede sprayed two shots long to surrender. It is the first time since 1997 that there will be neither of the Williams sisters in the second round, with Serena not playing after giving birthto her first child.
