Andrea Petkovic will face Sofia Arvidsson tonight in round two of the Western and Southern OpenYou can watch & bet on the action from the WTA Cincinnati Open at bet365World No. 11 Andrea Petkovic was inviolved in a tough first round clash against Jarmila Gajdosova on Monday, but she managed to earn a berth in round two by scraping a 5-7, 7-6(5), 6-2 victory. The German is enjoying the best patch of form of her career at the moment, and it was perhaps no surprise to see her pull through. She now has 42 wins for 2011.
Petkovic will continue her title charge this week with a second round showdown against Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden. Arvidsson made a lengthy run in Bastad last month, but was unable to follow it up with any particularly notable performances in either Stanford or Carlsbad.
Intriguingly, Arvidsson has a 1-0 head to head record against Petkovic. That said, the Swede’s victory over Petkovic occurred in 2008, when Petkovic was ranked 307th in the world. Tonight we can expect a very different matchup, and Petkovic should be able to get through to the third round.
