That’s what always-hilarious Andrea Petkovic tweeted after all the messages congratulating her on the amazing Family Circle Cup title. In the final, the former world No.9 German defeated Jana Cepelova 7-5 6-2 and won her third and biggest career tournament, after clawing back from years of injuries. To celebrate, Petkovic joined the selfie trend.
Loads of players took Twitter to congratulate Petko, including Bethanie Mattek Sands, Edina Gallovits, Melanie South, Alize Cornet, Sorana Cirstea, Madison Keys, Chris Evert, Sabine Lisicki, Anne Keothavong, Laura Robson, Kim Clijsters, Yanina Wickmayer, and most notably fellow weekend’s champion Ana Ivanovic, who defeated fellow Serb Jovana Jaksic 6-2 6-1 to lift the Monterrey trophy.
Here’s how other WTA stars expressed support for Petko:
