Controversy

• Before her match with Serena Williams at the 2007 Australian Open, Petrova said, "Both Serena and Venus had lots of injuries and they are not in the best shape of their life. It looks like everything is leading to the end of their career because they are quite busy; they have talk shows, books, and clothing lines. It looks like they are focused on other things and they have already done their job on court. It looks like they are finishing playing tennis. The motivation probably isn't there."^[5] Serena won the match 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 and eventually the tournament.

• When asked why she had a losing head-to-head against Tatiana Golovin, Petrova said that Golovin probably only beat her in the past "because of luck." As Eurosport UK commented, Petrova seemed unsure as to why she could not defeat the "most Russian of French players."^[6] Golovin defeated Petrova in the 2007 Amelia Island final, improving her win-loss record against Petrova to 5-1.

• Playing with Svetlana Kuznetsova at Wimbledon 2007 Petrova hit a volley at her opponent Liezel Huber's throat, causing the South African to fall to the ground screaming and crying. Although the incident was almost certainly accidental on Petrova's part, Huber took offence at Petrova when the two Russian players came round the net and shouted at her to go away. After a doctor was called, play resumed, with Kuznetsova and Petrova losing to the eventual champions (Huber and Cara Black).
