The rotating Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions is all about highlighting exciting new player on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, and burst a new name on the scene like in Germany claimed Andrea Petkovic her maiden name titles in the beautiful surroundings of Bad Gastein in Austria with a 6 2 Ioana Raluca Olaru 6-3 defeat.
How new is it? Before she had the Gastein Ladies NUREMBERG they played only 11 games total on the tour, entered into their career, and managed only three victories at the top level, at the Grand Slams all come. Part of that lack of success was perhaps due to a serious injury she suffered last year, suffered a torn ligament in his right knee, at the Australian Open, she kept out of the game for the next eight months. But, says the 21-year-old who just made it better.
"Rehabilitation was long and hard, but made me a stronger person," she said after her victory. "Winning this title shows, I'm a better player. I was hoping to land my first title here. It will take some time to realize, I've actually done it, but I'm just very happy."
