The 32nd seeded Mirza prepared to face another rising teenager in Dutchwoman Kraijicek on Margaret Court Arena, one year the wiser from her first Melbourne campaign that saw the 19-year old reach the third round.
"I remember that I was really, really nervous for my first match on court, and then when I was playing [eventual champion] Serena, I was like frozen, but you know, I've come a long way since then."
