AO R1: Nadia Petrova (10) def Y.Shvedova 6-3 7-6(3)

Shvedova :hug:

i feel sorry for Shvedova. Petrova will not go the distance and she is also not very serious about tennis.cant find interest in the game

Yari :awww: :hug:

Cmon Nadia, keep going :rocker2:

I knew Yari would fight. Just like Galina. The girls from Kaz never give up

Yari :sad: :( just dont get anything going her way :hug:
Nadia. time to steamroll on :) :) 2nd week a must

:bounce: Well done Nadia.
She's got a decent draw, i really hope she makes the second week. ;)

nadia :yeah: :D :rocker:
got a decent draw to 4R ;)

better take advantage :devil:

Davai Nadya.

Good job, Nadia.

sadly i think the upset is going to jump on nadia any moment.
i have such a bad feeling for her for 2009, though i'd be the happiest to see her regain form and drive.

Nadia plays Mirza next. That should be good

Nadia :bounce:

yeah nadia keep it going!!

Nice win Nadia, next up Mirza. Could be a fun match, good luck Nadia!

Congrats Nadia :)

Yari :hug: Nadia :yeah: I think Sania will probably beat her based on their respective matches...

Recent Petrova rankings:
2008-11 ; 2007-14 ; 2006-6 ; 2005-9 ; 2004-12 ; 2003-12

4th Round last year- cant see her going past Quarterfinals?
I think she might be able to snag a grand slam final or even one or two slams if she's very lucky but like the posters above me have stated- I think she needs discipline. Look for her to stay in the top 16 and if she doesn't do well this year or the next- she's retired.

Nadia :eek::bowdown:

Yay well done Nadia, I was expecting an early loss but it's okay :) Keep going!
