After reaching the final of last week’s China Open, Andrea Petkovic entered this year’s Generali Ladies Linz Open as the world No. 9. She’ll be looking to boost her ranking just one more place in order to enhance her chances of competing in the WTA Championships at the end of the season.

A lengthy run here would be hugely beneficial to Petkovic, and she’ll be hoping for a positive start on Tuesday when she takes on Elena Vesnina in round one. Vesnina hasn’t had a particularly good season, and she’s currently ranked No. 66 in the world. She’ll be considered the underdog here.

Vesnina has a 2-1 head to head record against Petkovic prior to this match. That said, Petkovic has improved tremendously this year, and she should have what it takes to get back on level terms with the Russian. If Petkovic is at her best, she should be able to get through to round two here.
