Andrea Petkovic has reached the final of the WTA-Tournament in Brisbane. The world’s number 32 defeated Marion Bartoli of France (WTA 16) 6:4; 6:2 in the semifinals. In the first set Andrea was already down 4:1 when she fought her way back into the match winning eight games in a row. In tomorrow’s final Andrea competes against Petra Kvitova (CZE | WTA 34).
"I started off a bit lazy and didn’t move my legs enough", said Andrea after the match. "I’m like a diesel, I need some time to get going. Now I’m really happy and looking forward to my third WTA-Final. I won one, I lost one, so I hope to be able to turn it into a positive record."
