Currently ranked No.154 in the world, Peers enjoyed her come through season in 2010 when she claimed a bronze medal in singles and gold medal in doubles at the Common wealth Games, and reached the second round of the US Open after defeating world No.54 Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada. After making her WTA Tour debut at the Hobart International in 2009, Peers was eager to be returning for her second main draw appearance at the competition.
“I expected to play in the qualifying rounds so I’m looking forward to entering the main draw and care up my good form,” Peers said.“It’s such a quality field of players to be here once again is a great honour and I will try to play the best I can. Hopefully next year I can directly enter the major draw.”Peers also received a wildcard to this year’s Brisbane International and enjoyed her second win against a top 100 player by defeating world No.25 Alisa Kleybanova (RUS) in the first round.
