Pera Back In The Top Hundred

Pera

MOVER OF THE WEEK

A little about the Croatian born American player: Bernarda Pera started playing on the ITF Circuit back in 2009. At twenty-four years old, she has yet to win her first singles title on the WTA Tour. While thirty is the new twenty, Pera still needs to make a move now to secure that first title. Once ranked as high as sixty-seven, she is still struggling to be consistent on the main tour. While she continues to win titles on the ITF Circuit, she has not had the same success on the WTA Tour. Although her favorite surface is hard, she does possess the firepower to do some damage on clay; thus, I would be curious to see how she performs at Roland Garros.
