2011 Citi Open: Nadia Petrova wins 10th career title

Russia’s Nadia Petrova won her 10th career WTA title on Sunday after beating top-seeded Shahar Peer at the inaugural Citi Open at College Park, Maryland. This is the former number three’s first title since 2008 at Quebec City.

“I’ve been waiting for this patiently,” Petrova said after the tournament win.

Petrova has produced inconsistent results in the past two years which saw her ranking drop. She has defeated Peer in all of their six meetings.
