She's a very tough competitor. She just doesn't give up at any stage of the match. She just goes for it and brings everything back. Either I have to play great tennis to beat her or I need to make the points shorter. Of course, serving well would help me a lot, too.
More Quotes from Nadia Petrova:
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.Nadia Petrova

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.
