Caroline Wozniacki says that her victory over Sabine Lisicki should give her the confidence needed to make an impact at the Australian Open.

Caroline Wozniacki believes that her battling victory over Sabine Lisicki will give her confidence as she looks to progress at the Australian Open.

The 10th seed came from a set down to reach the second round in Melbourne, where she will play either Andrea Hlavackova or Donna Vekic.

The Dane believes that Lisicki - who was unseeded despite reaching the semi-final of Wimbledon last year - was a dangerous first-round opponent.

"I kept fighting, kept playing for every point out there," said Wozniacki. "It's not easy playing a girl like her because she can make some amazing shots.

"It's always tough, she should really be seeded. It definitely gives you some confidence going into the tournament after a tough round like this."

Wozniacki, who has never won a Grand Slam title, reached the semi-final of the Australian Open in 2011.
