Description
Professional player-turned-analyst Andrea Petkovic sits down with Matt and Viv to reflect on her illustrious career, which saw her crack the WTA top 10, reach the Roland Garros semifinals in 2014, and reach three major quarterfinals in a breakout 2011 season. The German’s playing career spanned multiple generations, beginning when she took her first steps on the professional tour in the mid-2000s and ending when she retired at the 2022 US Open, coinciding with Serena Williams’ swansong. Ever the curious mind, Petkovic has kept herself busy since retiring, especially in the media as a writer, commentator, and podcaster. Her perspective on the sport is sharp, insightful and nuanced, as evidenced in this chat from Berlin prior to the Laver Cup.
