US Open R2: N.Petrova [RUS] (7) def. A.Rodionova [RUS] 7/5 6/1

:rocker2: Nadia
she was down 2/4 in the first!!

No drama. :sad:

Rodionowa's dropshots attempts were... :tape: Did she win a pt after any? :o

Nadia got going in the end :yeah: :)

Great recovery after a slow start! Keep it going Nadia. I really hope that this "injury" is nothing serious.

Nadia :woohoo:
go for at the title, at least the SF :dance:

I watched it on direct tv and Rodionova kept her emotions inside, got angry, but only bounced her racket a few times, i was surprised i thought based on what people have said about her, that after losing her 4-2 lead she would go crazy, but she didn't.
Good job Nadia.

Good Girl Nads! :hearts:

Misa next - eat her for breakfast as well!!!! :drool:

No drama. :sad:

yeah :sad: I thought she might act bitchy again :lol:

Uranium
could you tell anything about Nadia' game and her movement?

i saw last 2 games - they were auwull)) just errors from Rodionova and Nadia's good serve)

A superhuman serving effort from Petrova on serve, of her last 7 service games, 6 were to love and the other to 30, Awesome serving.

Nice comeback after being down in the first, Nadia. :yeah:

well done Nads! :yeah: :woohoo: ;)

Good Girl Nads! :hearts:

Misa next - eat her for breakfast as well!!!! :drool:It could be Agnes. They're just starting.

well done Nadia

Congrats Nadia!:)
Rodionova :hug:

Rodionova has kept her cool this whole tournament. I only watched her match against Savchuk in hopes of seeing a breakdown but she was very courteous and respectful which was nice to see and disappointing at the same time. Even stayed after the match to take pictures with fans :eek:

:yeah:

Good fight Nadia, keep it up :yeah: Another solid performance

Nadia :rocker: :banana:

Great win for Nadia. Always knew she could win here easily.

LOVED how Nadia pumped herself up after the slow start. Out there jogging, practicing shots in the change of ends, really forced herself to get going - other players could learn a lot from that kind of thing. :worship:

There was a distinct lack of bitchiness from A-Rod out there today :( She usually keeps quiet against the top players on the big court.

Third round against Szavay. Here's where the tournament starts for you, Nadia.

:unsure: I'm quite nervous about this Szavay chick. I really had not noticed or payed attention to her until her results last week. I hope Nadia has a good serving day on Saturday.

Nice fight back Nadia! Good luck against Szavay!
