The Russian only knew two hours before the match started that she would be playing and underprepared, it wasn’t surprising that she took time to adjust early on. However, no one could have predicted what unfolded as Suarez Navarro romped to take the first set 6-0 in just 22 minutes.

“It was obviously frustrating to know that I had to play just two hours before the match. Physiologically it was very difficult for me to prepare because I was in such a rush to get to the warm up and getting myself ready to play so when I got onto the court, I could not get my thoughts together," Petrova commented.

Still pathetic scoreline, but at least now we know more. Poor Nadia

**Bероника** · Feb 6th, 2012, 07:37 PM

Yes,I found her very slow on court.I felt really bad for Nadia after watching that match

We all know she is a much better player that what she showed yesterday.
they went on to play to play the doubles (Sveta & Nadia,apparently the only players "fit" on the team) but retired after losing frst set because Sveta had hurting foot.

Thanx for the news. I wondered what happened. Glad Kuznetsova is injured, and not Nadia

**Bероника** · Feb 8th, 2012, 07:15 PM

well I'm not glad at all she is injured but yeah,you don't have to worry about Nadia I guess.I think she's the only player in the russian team that ended up the weekend healthy

What's next Nadia's tournament? She has only played AO in singles an I want to see her more in action.
