US Open Rnd 2: Nadia Petrova dismisses Simona Halep 6-1 6-1

Nadia was so solid today its great when she plays like this, less than an hour as well :p

Simona made a lot of errors today.

Damn, Naughtya. :worship:

Shame that she has a sucky draw.

Nadia :) :yeah: solid stuff

Thought Nadia would win, but not by this much. I thought Halep would at least test her

:cheer:Love it when nadia plays well. Please take out masha in the 4th round and get to the quarters.

Well done Nadia. Keep em coming.

Surprisingly solid.

Cronin: "Russian Nadia Petrova, who is looking to become a US resident, could have serious trouble with Simona Halep, who can belt the ball. I’m sensing a three-set win for the young Romanian…" :happy: :happy: :happy:

Simona was awful...
At least she defended the points.

Congrats Nadya.

Good match from Nadia,some great winners from her :) Outfit looked nice also

Surprisingly easy win.
Nadia was impressive but to be fair Halep was nowhere near good today.

As soon as Cronin typed that, he probably knew he was wrong.

Nadia didn't even serve great, as she can, she was just very very solid. Well done, Nadia!

:lol:

i remember Cronin's 2004 picks and he went against Sveta every single match and she was Champ

halep sucks so much

Nadia :cheer:

It is going to be so weird when Nadia, Schaivone, and Hantuchova retire it will kind of feel like an end of an era :sobbing: Glad the Williams sisters are still here to stay

Anyways Nadia congrats. I think Halep has been dealing with injury problems, but still good performance from Nadia :yeah:

Great win for Nadia! Although every time her earlier rounds start to make me think she could have a late-career run at the latter stages of a slam, she goes and loses to someone totally beatable. So... I'm choosing to be a pessimist!

Nads :yeah:

Win that elusive slam, Nads. :lol: OK she'll obvs choke suck lose at the first opportunity, but we also live in a world where Schiavone and Stosur won slams and Kerber and Errani are top 10.

when nadia plays well, she's so lovely to watch. much better than 1st round.

Also Nadia said in an interview that she doesn't want to become a US resident.

:speakles: Well done, Nadia ! :yeah:

Simona :hug:
