Doha – Andrea Petkovic has reached the main draw of the tennis tournament in Doha.
The 34-year-old from Darmstadt won her final qualifying round match against Anna Bondar from Hungary on Saturday with a clear 6:0, 6:2 victory. The one-sided match lasted only 71 minutes. In the first round of the 2.6 million dollar event, Petkovic will meet Viktorija Golubic from Switzerland.
Directly in the main draw of the WTA 1000 tournament is Angelique Kerber. The German number one will start the tournament with Jil Teichmann from Switzerland. For Kerber (34) it is only the second match this year. At the Australian Open, the player from Kiel was already eliminated in the first round after she was set back by a corona infection during her pre-season preparations.
