Petrova Commits To San Diego |

Fresh off her trip to the French Open quarterfinals, Nadia Petrova has her sights set on San Diego next month.

Petrova has committed to play in the 2010 Mercury Insurance Open, scheduled for July 31 to August 8th at the La Costa Resort and Spa.

The 20th-ranked Petrova is coming off a quarterfinal finish at Roland Garros where she scored a 6-4, 6-3 fourth-round victory over secondseeded Venus Williams. Earlier this year, Petrova also reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, beating US Open champion Kim Clijsters along the way.

The Moscow native will be making her eighth career tournament appearance this year at the La Costa Resort and Spa. Her best result was a quarterfinal finish in 2003 and 2007. Petrova reached her career high singles ranking at No. 3 in the world in 2006.

“We are delighted to have an exciting player like Nadia Petrova enter our event,” said Raquel Giscafre, Mercury Insurance Open tournament director. “In the past, she was always a fan favorite here in Carlsbad and I’m sure fans at La Costa will be thrilled to have the opportunity to watch her play again.”

Petrova joins fellow Russians Dinara Safina and Svetlana Kuznetsova as well as Serbia’s Ana Ivanovic and Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia among the tournament’s early entries.

Reserved Grandstand and Box Seat tickets, which range from $10-$125, are now available online at mercuryinsuranceopen.com or through Ticketmaster at ticketmaster.com. Tournament Ticket Packages are also on sale now and begin at $70.

Special ticket discounts are also available for members of the United States Tennis Association and the La Costa Resort and Spa. For additional ticket information or to purchase tickets by phone, call (760) 930-7032.
