Andrea Petkovic will lead Germany in the Fed Cup playoff against the United States later this month.

Julia Goerges, Sabine Lisicki and Anna-Lena Groenefeld complete the German team for the April 16-17 match in Stuttgart. A win would see Germany promoted to the World Group at the expense of the U.S.

Petkovic has advanced to the semifinals of the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Florida, with wins over top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki and Jelena Jankovic.

The 23-year-old Petkovic will break into the top 20 next week.
