The miracle run for Andrea Petkovic ended today at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. The 21th seeded player Petkovic looked as if she was going for another stunning victory against Maria Sharapova but that was not meant to be.
After winning the first set 6-3, the German lost her game and everything with it. The Russian won 12 of the last 14 games.
Sharapova won, 6-0, 6-2, to advance to her first final of the year. It was sweet revenge for the Russian who lost to the German in the Round of 16 earlier this year at the Australian Open.
Petkovic's run was a great one nevertheless having knocked off Caroline Wozniacki and Jelena Jankovic.
