Andrea Petkovic: Runner-Up WTA Brisbane International:
One of the more intelligent players in the tour, Andrea Petkovic starts the year with a bang - by finishing runner-up to Petra Kvitova in this year's Brisbane International.
This was her path to the finals -
F - lost to Petra Kvitova (CZE) (#34) 61 63
SF - Marion Bartoli (FRA) (#16) 64 62
QF - Jarmila Groth (AUS) (#42) 63 64
2R - Jelena Dokic (AUS) (#138) 60 61
1R - Alexandra Dulgheru (ROU) (#29) 63 60
Andrea is the beneficiary of the early exits of seeded players, Stosur and Dulgheru. She also had victories over two players ranked higher than she is (#32). She also had two bagel sets. This is a good start to her 2011 campaign!
