“After two defeats at the start of the season, we want to do everything we can to score the first points of the season at home in order to take an important step closer to staying up in the league. We’re very happy if Andrea will support us and lead our team,” says team manager Sven Grosse.
For a long time it was not clear whether Petkovic could come, because after qualifying at the WTA tournament in Rome she was still waiting to see if she might slip into the main draw as a lucky loser. Late on Wednesday evening it was clear: Unfortunately, that won’t work.
