Petkovic beats Rogers to take Gastein Ladies
Print Edition
ANDREA Petkovic took another step toward a return to the top 10 of the WTA rankings by winning her second title of the season at the Gastein Ladies in Austria yesterday.
The 20th-ranked German, who played her first claycourt event since reaching the semifinals at last month’s French Open, beat Shelby Rogers of the US 6-3, 6-3 to follow up on her victory at Charleston in April.
“It’s a super feeling, I am totally happy,” said Petkovic, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 9 almost three years ago. “I want back into the top 10 and I am just playing good tennis.”
Petkovic also won the event in 2009 for her first of four career titles, which have all come on clay. Rogers, 21, who came through qualifying and was ranked 147th, had not been beyond the second round of a WTA event before.
