Great comeback Nadia!

Dinara, oh so close. :sad:

Petrova has to be the biggest joke #4 player in history. I can't wait for her easy cake draws to dry up and then she won't be winning so many matches. This week in Berlin has been ridiculous when you have such a loaded top half and such a weak bottom half for Nadia. I can't wait to see her get spanked by a quality opponent in the final.

Dinara was robbed a little at 6-3, 3-2 Ad Safina on Nadia's serve.

Nadia appeared to double fault to give Dinara the break for 4-2. then the umpire overruled the call on nadia's second serve and gave Nadia TWO serves again. (Stupid rule!) Nadia served an Ace and then held for 3-3.

That made a huge difference to the match. :(

Dinara, oh so close. :sad:

The only big joke here are the people who can't accept the fact that Nadia is climbing up the rankings. :rolleyes:

Dinara, oh so close. :sad:

You play who is on the court.
Nadia has had her share of tough draws.

Dinara, oh so close. :sad:

Yeah, she's easily number 3 in waiting.

dinara :mad: that was close...ugh!...not to worry though, she'll start winning these matches soon. good luck in ur next tourny! :)

Congrats Nadia - keep it up! :bigclap:

Dinara ... really bad luck :bigcry:

Whatever you say about Nadia, she's shown some toughness in these three set wins recently. Even though I feel like there are five more talented players in the world, I think Nadia's skills and consistent results definitely make her worthy of her position until someone takes it from her. She would be even more impressive if she ever could've gotten over that mental block against Sharapova in slam QFs.

Also, Safina's got a lot of talent, so I don't think she's that easy of a draw for anyone (unless you compare drawing her to drawing Kuznetsova... then I agree). It's good to see her playing at a high level.

Nadia is just too consistent for these types of players...well done Nadia, and a good chance to reach the final ! :)
