Madrid R1: (Q) King def. Petrova 6-1 7-6(5)

Important win for her ranking :worship:

Didnt face a single break point :eek:

Vania, well done keep it up! :yeah:

Great win Vania!!! Keep it going! :hearts:

It's getting harder and harder to remember the days when Nadia was a clay-GOAT. :(

Vania :yeah:

Great win, Vania!

Vania :worship:

:weirdo:

Nadia :facepalm:

another loss to one of her bitches :o :facepalm:

Great result from Vania!

Nadia time to play doubles only :cuckoo:

Terrible Nadia :o

:lol: Anyone who loses to Wozniacki season, doesn't do too well on tour.

Yaaay Vania :D Finally defeating her!

I have a feeling that if she'll continue to struggle like this for the next weeks or months, she'll decide to stay only in doubles. Right now, she have no confidence and no motivation for singles.

Nadia getting closer to retirement sadly

:oh:
Great work, Vania! :cheer:

Nadia this is very bad :weirdo:

Holy cow! :eek:

:help:

Nadia is over.

Looks like Nadia won't be top 30 after RG. :hug: Sadly

Go on Vania, take the title

Well done VK :yeah: This win puts her back inside the top 100 :cool:

Nads :hug:

Having vertigo and being a professional athlete that competes and trains as hard as tennis players, it's safe to say Nadia will retire in the not too distant future if she can't get it under control.

Nice win Vania.

THIS half draw is losing goat clay players one after the other... WIDE OPEN now !

What should have been Ivanovic vs Petrova......instead is a battle of 2 CCC's :tape:

have the feeling that Naughtya is slowly but surely heading into retirement :awww:
congratz, King :yeah:

:spit:

Nadia :sad:..last year she was thrashing Kim and Venus at the slams..get yourself together.

still, stay away from my golden flowers, nadia. :angel:

Vania, nice win! :worship: Really good for her to beat a slumping Petrova, and a winnable match against Beth coming up. Would be fantastic for her Fed Cup chances if she beat Beth. :drool:

Golden Flower killer becomes Golden Flower kill :D

Great for Vania, I'm sure she's happy. :hug:

Vania!! :cheer: Great win for her.

Naughtya :sad::hug:

Golden Flower killer becomes Golden Flower kill :D

Vania is a Red, White and Blue Flower. :secret:

Wow that's a shockingly poor loss for Petrova :o It's a shame her mental weakness, and her often poor attitude prevented her from achieving more at her peak, and from achieving more consistent success week in and week out. When she could put it all together without pressure, she could play some real top quality tennis. Unfortunately, you have to wonder whether she's even bothered with singles these days unless it's a "big" match. :shrug:

That being said, I'm happy for Vania...Not her biggest fan or anything, but love her attitude as a player and am always happy to see someone like that come out on top and benefit.

Petrova's just a joke seriously. She really needs to retire. And I've been a fan of hers for eight years.

Mind you she's probably going to start reaching Grand Slam QFs again out out nowhere given how up and down her career has been the last five years.

Petrova is just a huge waste of talent. 2006, after beating peak-Justine in Berlin final,the injury problem set in and she lost to Morigami in FO first round. Then her career is over.

Last title is 2008 Quebec City.

Nadia :sobbing:

sad to see one of my first faves playing so badly.

:woohoo: This will definitely solidify her in the top 100 for a bit! :D

Vania! :bounce:

Nadia unafuckingceptable to lose to an American on fucking red clay :facepalm: :facepalm:

Vania!! :cheer: Great win for her.

Naughtya :sad::hug:



Vania is a Red, White and Blue Flower. :secret:


Yes, but painted golden :shrug:

Whilst I have never liked Petrova, you have to wonder how long it will be before she calls it quits. She's only beaten one Top 50 player all year and has looked a shadow of the player that once was #3 in the world. I personally never believed RG 2006 was hers for the taking (Its one thing to beat Henin in a Tour Final, quite another in a Slam Final, particularly at RG) But to see how her game has disintregrated over the past 12 months or does make you wonder how much motivation she has left at 28.

Hell yeah! So happy for Vania

Vania :woohoo: this is soooo great! She needed this! Although she is about to lose Strasbourg semifinal points :help:.

Nadia :sad: things are not going well for her right now. Such a waste of huge potential :hug:.

Nadia. Retire.

Looks like Nadia won't be top 30 after RG. :hug: Sadly

She might not be top 30 BEFORE RG. What might save her seed is the fact that Rezai, Venus and Safarova also drop a bunch of points next week.

Hadn't really noticed Petrova's meltdown but this is a good win for Vania.

:unsure:

Last year Nadia defeats Serena, this year loses to King... talk about a fall

nadia is playing a farewell game.

Nadia was being coached by Liezel Hubers' husband.
With the doubles breakup everything is rather messed up for but having Liezels husband as a coach hasn't done much good to her either.

Nadia beat Serena last year :sobbing:.

Nadia :smash:

This is actually pretty sad. I mean Nadia Petrova, someone who rocked the clay season a couple of years ago and was #1 fave to win RG, loses to freakin' Vania King? Seriously, I can't :facepalm:

schiavone's draw is opening up, hopefully she will reach at least vera (then she will be destroyed as usual)

This is actually pretty sad. I mean Nadia Petrova, someone who rocked the clay season a couple of years ago and was #1 fave to win RG, loses to freakin' Vania King? Seriously, I can't :facepalm:

When was that? She's a good player and everyone's sad about this generation pre-retirement positions, but seriously, she's never been a fave to win RG :shrug:

petrova is really throwing away all her talent. awful result for her.

When was that? She's a good player and everyone's sad about this generation pre-retirement positions, but seriously, she's never been a fave to win RG :shrug:


She was one of the faves to win RG in 2006.

LMAO Nadia :lol:

Congratz Vanz! :yeah:

She was one of the faves to win RG in 2006.

Yeah, after winning Berlin by defeating Justine, apparently. My bad then, totally forgot about it. Still can't remember her being #1 fave to win RG, but she was one of the faves, right.
