Andrea Petkovic made an assured start to her campaign this week at the Mercury Insurance Open, fighting off a determined challenge from Alexa Glatch to claim a 6-3, 6-4 victory. Given how she’s played this year, the German should be a real contender for the title, and it will be exciting to see how well she performs over the next few days.

Her next match will be a third round clash against Virginie Razzano of France. Razzano has been in decent form this season, and her 6-1, 6-3 demolition of Marina Erakovic in round two stands out as one of her best results this year. Erakovic is showing a lot of potential at the moment, and the margin of Razzano’s victory was fairly surprising.

When Petkovic and Razzano meet on court this week it will be the first competitive matchup between the pairing. Petkovic should have the edge, but Razzano has the talent and experience to make this a close contest.
