More Quotes from Nadia Petrova:
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.Nadia Petrova
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.

I couldn't serve today, ... I've been struggling with a right pectoral strain since my last tournament, and yesterday after my three set match it seemed to get worse. I tried to fight through it, but in the third set it really started to hurt. Then my serve was just very off.

It feels really good to finish off the week with the title. I felt like I could have done much more. On one hand, I was getting some free points from her side as well. I think we both didn't really play our best, but we both wanted to win and were trying as much as we could out there. I'm quite happy everything finished in two sets.

This was the point, when I got really nervous, ... Being so close to my first title made my legs disappear.
