Should Petrova Retire?

She is just plain awful :help:

:weirdo:

Simple answer? No. If she should, everyone ranked below her should as well.

No she is not, loser.

If a player like her can't beat $harapova on clay, then she should retire!

Simple answer? No. If she should, everyone ranked below her should as well.

Um are u even watching the match? :rolleyes:

Hard to believe she was the one winning everything on clay in 2006 :tape:

If a Sharapova on the comeback trail can take a set from Nadia 6-2 on clay...then she should re-work her strategy. :help:

She's just a Masha's bitch. Has always been a one.

She must win her tournamente number 10 before the retirement

NO

Cara?

ur obviously not watching the match?

She's slower than Maria (that's telling on the surface)and is basically doing nothing with the ball.She makes Maria looks like a clay GOAT out there lol

In the 1st set, she played like she's the "Cow on Ice".

At the moment in the 2nd, she's doing better.

Um are u even watching the match? :rolleyes:

Yes I am but jeez, telling her to retire is a pointless comment. She's playing some bad tennis but yikes, it's not like she's going to run off court crying.

well Masha kinda has her number:devil: she's gonna self destruct against her Nemesis even when leading, maybe Masha intimidates her..

If a player like her can't beat $harapova on clay, then she should retire!

lol

I feel sorry 4 her.

Nadia's playing better now, but I think you're being a bit harsh. She was hospitalised with viral meningitis at the beginning of the year so that's bound to have set her back. That said, she's just not playing a tactically smart match against Maria.

:sobbing:

Petrova now looking like Michelle Kwan on ice... while Maria is what she is...

Fail. :haha:

um, she just demolished maria in the second.


petrova's outfit might be my favorite of the tournament. is she still wearing venus' line?

Some people here need to calm down, just because their player loses a set is like the end of the world:rolleyes: This second set was very well bound to happen

um, she just demolished maria in the second.

It's Ellesse:D

leave the girl alone

She's raised her level a bit in the 2nd set and it was enough to see Maria falling appart.But Nadia ha still time to choke this...

Go Nadeja :D

yeah, she's been plagued with injuries so it's hard for her to keep a consistent good lvl when she's always in and out the tour

btw what happened to all her fans? back in 2006 this was PACKED with Petrova fans :lol:

Nadia looked lazy in third set, just simply put the ball back.:tape:
She should stick with dubs if she hits like that.:o

Not yet, no!

Petrova is not choking against Maria for once :eek:

I have no idea where is this board heading. We had threads after lost match that someone should retire, now it is when a player loses a set. What next? I guess after a double fault! :lol:

After the first set Nadia started playing the best she's played this year so far.
Sharapova will have to play great to win this

I dont understand why Petrova doesnt come forward on Maria's second serve?! She stays back like she does on Maria's first.

I know it's mean to put that pressure on a girl thats had shoulder injury, but Petrova is too soft!

I'm smelling another choke. She had two BP for a 5*-2 lead, but didn't convert.

If she doesn't win this, seriously, retire within a year. She's accomplished all she ever will in her career.

Even on grass Nadia stays back too much.
Maria just played well to hold.
Now some pressure on Nadia

:sobbing:

never in doubt with Nadia :rocker:

Petrova is not choking against Maria for once :eek:

well...:tape: Nadia :o

Yes :o

Great drama in this match. Maria hit the line at bp

Nadia should have won this already.

Nadia can kiss the 3rd round goodbye (i hope im wrong but i don't think i am :o )

Pressure on Nadia now.:tape: Do or die.:o

I really dig Nadia's dress :hearts:

:sad: Please win Nadia :drive:

leave the girl alone

..why? isn't she prime time for retirement?! If not who is?

Fabulous R2 match in a packed stadium.

EnormoPressure on Nadia :tape:

Yeah, I love it too.:inlove: Underrated though.:(

Nadia :tape:
You should win this... but the problem is you are Nadia Petrova... :help:

I am not sure about retiring but to be losing to Maria on clay, after she is coming off such a long delay should be concerning to her.

sharapova cant last long she will lose
look how tired she is

She could always be bouncer afterwards.

It's painfull to watch now.Nadia helds at love generally but can't break to finish it.

Maria is almost all the way back to form.
If she loses this, she will roll thru Birmingham and be a threat at Wimbledon
The winner of this has a good chance to get to the SF here

nadia should already have won this, can't seem to break maria.

This is a well played match. Nadia's best all year

I don't agree with anything you just said.

Bye Bye Nadia.:wavey:

never in doubt with Nadia :tape: :o

I'm depressed.

This is a well played match. Nadia's best all year

I dunno who is the most braindead : you or Nadia.

The answer is yes.

yes she should. :sobbing:

Not yet. As long as she can still play, then go for it. Get some prize money 'coz it's a jungle out there (outside tennis).. :)
