The number 26, who exited in the Australian Open first round after playing a Brisbane quarter-final and then was beaten in the Fed Cup by Swiss Belinda Bencic, is working with a new coaching team and feels her tennis has turned a corner after she toyed last December of quitting the sport.
Petkovic could face new World No 9 Bencic in the next round at the Aviation Club if the weekend finalist in St Petersburg beats former No 1 Jelena Jankovic in the opening round.
The 40th-ranked Giorgi saved two match points in the final game as Petkovic closed out the victory.
