In singles play, Petzschner was defeated in five sets byJo-Wilfried Tsonga in the first round of the tournament. In Rotterdam, Petzschner won his third doubles title partneringJürgen Melzer.
The height of Petzschner's season was reached when he and his partner Jürgen Melzer won the US Open Men's Doubles final, defeating the sixth seeded Polish team ofMariusz Fyrstenberg andMarcin Matkowski. A controversy occurred at 2–2 in the second set, when a ball bounced on Petzschner's left shin and the chair umpire ruled the play valid. When asked, Petzschner nodded ambiguously, even though the video replay later confirmed that the ball was returned illegally.[1] Nevertheless, the incident did not affect the match's final result 6–2, 6–2.
Petzschner reached his first singles quarterfinal of the season in Dubai, defeatingAndreas Seppi andPhilipp Kohlschreiber, before falling toTomáš Berdych. He represented Germany in theDavis Cup first-round tie against Croatia in Zagreb. PartneringChristopher Kas, he defeatedIvo Karlović andIvan Dodig in five sets to give Germany a 2–1 lead.

Petzschner won the title at theStuttgart Open, partneringTim Pütz as a wild card entry.[3] In October, he played his last professional match on the tour at theEuropean Open in Antwerp.
Petzschner has a powerful serve (up to 230 km/h) and forehand. His slice backhand is very flat and dangerous, which he utilises so much to the extent that he comparably rarely hits a topspin or flat two-handed backhand.[4] He is also an excellent player at the net, which makes him a better doubles player.
He married singer Dewi Sulaeman of the pop groupBellini in September 2010. They have one son and 2 daughters.
