Andrea Petkovic has reached the round of sixteen at the WTA-Tournament in Moscow after an impressive turnaround. The now ranked No. 32 of the WTA defeated Olga Govortsova (BLR | WTA 51) 0:6; 7:5; 6:0 in the first round. "I struggled with the time change in the beginning. And I was still a little bit tired from the matches I played in Linz", Andrea commented on the first set. But after a small medical break she fought her way back into the match and finally rushed through the third set.
In the next round Andrea faces world’s number ten Victoria Azarenka.
