With 2:6, Andrea Petkovic had a poor start on Friday in the qualification for the Qatar TotalEnergies Open. Opponent Ellen Perez from Australia had caught the German tennis player on the wrong foot – even though Perez only got 51 percent of her first serves into the field.
After that Petkovic got along better and better, came to her game and finally asserted herself with 2: 6, 6: 2 and 6: 0.
In the next round, the 34-year-old Petkovic will play against the Hungarian Anna Bondar (24).
