Andrea Petkovic: Runner-Up WTA Brisbane International:

Andrea Petkovic Andrea Petkovic of Germany reacts during the XXI International Tennis Tournament Kremlin Cup 2010 match against Victoria Azarenka of Belarus at the Olympic Stadium on October 20, 2010 in Moscow, Russia.

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!
