At the 2010 French Open, Venus Williams’ outfit was getting more attention than she was, and for the time being, it remains that way. In Round 4, Williams fell to Nadia Petrova in two sets, 6-4, 6-3.
French Open, Day 8: Venus Williams Falls To Nadia Petrova
[Petrova] controlled rallies with steady play from the baseline and finished strong, a problem for her in the past. Petrova swept the final four games and wobbled only once, shanking an overhead when leading love-30 in the final game.
She collected herself and won the final two points, closing out the match with an emphatic forehand winner.
This comes three weeks after Petrova ousted Williams’ sister, Serena, at Madrid.
Later in Day 8, however, the sisters cruised in the women’s doubles tournament, breezing past Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, 6-1, 6-2.
