Photos from the Brisbane International: Crawford Stuns Petkovic

Even though Thursday at the 2016 Brisbane International featured players like Victoria Azarenka & Angelique Kerber, the most talked about player was one you may have never heard of before: Samantha Crawford.

After stunning Belinda Bencic on Wednesday, the 20 year-old American has continued her amazing Brisbane run on Thursday, making the tournament’s semi-finals by beating Andrea Petkovic in straight sets.

Ranked #142, Crawford started her Brisbane week playing through the qualifying stages, making it all the way into the round of the last four.
