In July 2009, Petkovic won the first WTA Tour singles title of her career at the International event in Bad Gastein, Austria after a straight sets win over Ioana Raluca Olaru in the final.[2] At the 2011 Australian Open, she defeated the 2008 champion and former world No. 1, Maria Sharapova[3] in the fourth round to reach her first Grand Slam quarterfinal where she lost in straight sets to the ninth seed and eventual runner-up, Li Na.[4] In March 2011, she reached her first Premier Mandatory semifinal at the Sony Ericsson Open, upsetting world No. 1, Caroline Wozniacki,[5] and sixth seed Jelena Janković[6] en route before falling to Sharapova in three sets.[7] Two months later, she won her second career singles title at the Internationaux de Strasbourg[8] before reaching her second consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal at the French Open where she lost to Sharapova in straight sets, winning just three games.[9] After quarterfinal and semifinal appearances at the Rogers Cup[10] and Western & Southern Open[11] respectively, Petkovic reached her third Grand Slam quarterfinal of the year at the US Open, where she lost in straight sets to the top-seeded Wozniacki.[12] In October, she reached the biggest final of her career to date at the China Open where she lost to the 11th seed Agnieszka Radwańska in three sets.[13] Petkovic rose to a career high of World No. 9 as a result of this performance and eventually finished the year ranked World No. 10, marking her first finish in the year-end top ten.
