Nadia Petrova Hard Quotations

We both were on and off, ... We both had some great points and we both had some bad - a lot of unforced errors. But we both fought hard and stuck to the end.

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.

There are many good players and pretty tough first-round matches. Things will be hard for me, as early as my first match.

It was extremely hot out there today and very hard to recover after long points, ... I was feeling like I was a little out of energy and a little uncoordinated during some points. Overall I played well but I think I played too defensively. I should have been more aggressive and fighting for every point.

It's a wonderful feeling, ... I have worked so hard for this to happen and now it's come true.

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