Nadia Petrova def. Agnieszka Radwanska 6-0 1-6 6-3
Nadia Petrova played lights out tennis and takes out defending champion, Agnieszka Radwanska in 3 sets to clinch her first Premier 5 title. Nadia was untouchable in the first set as she served well and dictated points. However, it was Radwanska's turn to dominate the 2nd set as she moved Nadia around in this topsy turvy match. Finally, Radwanska wilted under the pressure, serving 2 double faults at 3-4 to give the crucial break to Petrova where the Russian closed it out with a powerful dri ve volley. This is Nadia's 12th career title and possibly her biggest one yet under the tour's new format of classifying tournaments. Shows that the veterans still can take out the young guns on their day. Will Nadia continue her impressive form in Beijing and make a late surge for YEC? We will see!
