Andrea Petkovic, a former WTA Top 10 player, has made waves with her commentary on two of the biggest names in men’s tennis—Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Born in Tuzla (now Bosnia) in 1987, Petkovic moved to Germany at the age of five, where she was raised and developed her passion for tennis under the influence of her father, Zoran Petkovic, a former Yugoslavian tennis player.
Petkovic enjoyed a stellar career, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 9 in the WTA and making a semifinal run at Roland Garros. Alongside her tennis career, she pursued a degree in Political Science via distance learning, showcasing her intellectual curiosity and love of learning.
By 2022, Petkovic retired from professional tennis, turning her attention to sports commentary. She offered pointed critiques about Alcaraz’s game and Djokovic’s future.
