Next stop was her first clay-court tournament for the year, the Family Circle Cup. Her first-round singles match, against South African Chanelle Scheepers, was a topsy-turvy affair. Erakovic dropped her serve three times in the first set, breaking Scheepers only once, but broke her twice in the second set while holding her own throughout. The final set saw plenty of chances go begging for both players. Erakovic dropped her second and fourth service games, the latter ending with consecutive double faults, to be down 2–5. She broke Scheepers in the next game, then held her own service to be down 4–5. Scheepers double-faulted twice on match point, but held service at her third attempt to run out the winner 6–2, 2–6, 6–4 in 2 hours and 9 minutes. She has now won all three of her matches against Erakovic. Finally able to take the court with Petkovic as her doubles partner, they won their first two matches in straight sets, demolishing the fourth seeds Tímea Babos and Anna-Lena Grönefeld 6–1, 6–2, in the quarterfinal. The semifinal saw Casey Dellacqua and Darija Jurak take the first set 6–4 in a see-saw affair, and then Erakovic and Petkovic raced through the second set to win it 6–1. Although Petkovic served an ace during the super tie-break, she also finished with a double-fault to hand the deciding set to Dellacqua and Jurak 5–10.
