Nadia Petrova Win Quotations

I was prepared for a long match. As soon as I had an opportunity I was trying to make the points shorter and save energy. I'm happy with the consistency of my game, and I tried to keep it up and win as many points as possible.

I now know that no matter what happens out there, how badly I play or how badly I feel, I can still find the strength in me and win it. When I have a difficult time on court again, I will probably think of this final.

I feel pretty happy because that's my first win against a top 10 player.

I was very motivated for today's match. I knew I would win the semifinal. I was in no doubt about the result. I gave everything I had. I stuttered a little in the second set, when Sugiyama won a few games, but I played my natural game in the tiebreaker.

Today it was hard to challenge. She was going for winners and getting them. I tried to play my best, but I just couldn't do it.

It's really hard with this weather. You just do whatever you need to. Unfortunately, with the wind you cannot play the beautiful game.

Every year, I've been doing better and better, playing more consistent and winning more matches. Hopefully, I'll get more and more titles this year.

I had everything in my hands. I had 40-15 up. I felt if I could get the game, I would win the match.

It happened during my quarterfinal match, about the middle of the second set, ... I was so into the match I didn't really feel it, but I must say it got worse and the pain was aggravating. I was lucky to win the second set and the tiebreaker, because if we'd gone to a third set I probably wouldn't have had enough to finish off the match.
