Andrea Petkovic targets top 10 after Nurnberger Gastein Ladies win

The German, who won the WTA International event for the second time on Sunday, has not been in the higher echelons of the women's game since 2011 when she achieved a career-high ranking of ninth.

Petkovic dominated the final against Shelby Rogers to secure a 6-3 6-3 triumph and a fourth career win.

And the world number 20 is eager to continue her upward trajectory.

"It's a super feeling, I am totally happy," she said. "I want [to get] back into the top 10 and I am just playing good tennis.

"Shelby played very aggressive tennis. I didn't know her game but I've done some research on YouTube.

"My serve and my footwork can still improve but I am playing well.

"I wanted this victory so badly. I am very relieved."

For Rogers it was an "incredible" week at the clay-court tournament as the American, ranked 147, beat three top-50 players on her way to contesting her first final.
