Nadia Petrova Played Quotations

I really dominated my games. She played a few good points ... I put so much pressure on here, I ended up with the match quite easy.

Sybille played great tennis today. But I am happy that I won and went through to the semis, ... I was in the final in 2003, so I would like to take it a step further this time.

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.

I am absolutely delighted with my effort. I played my best match here today against probably the best player of the tournament.

I am absolutely delighted with my effort. I played my best match here in Doha today against probably the best player of the tournament.

Definitely it's going to be very exciting and I'm very happy I've played lots of matches on clay so at the moment I'm feeling very confident. I'm really looking forward to the first match. I really enjoy the competition. Playing matches now, I feel much more relaxed on court and I think much clearer and that helps me a lot.

I'm looking forward to my match against Ai. I have played her before and I'm sure that we will have a good match, hopefully put on a good show for the public.

At the beginning it took me a while to adjust to the lights, ... I found it difficult to see the ball and struggled a little on my return of serve. Other than that though, I think I served well and played well on important points.

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.
